Chassis
The front suspension is made on two semi-elliptical springs with double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers. The rear suspension is on two main and two additional springs with anti-roll bar. The brake mechanisms are drum. The drive of the main brake system is pneumatic, separately for the front and rear wheels. Parking brake - on the rear wheels with pneumatic drive, from spring energy accumulators. The car is equipped with tires of size 12.00R20 mod. ID-304.
Power transmission
In the basic configuration, the car is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission YaMZ-236P. Synchronizers are installed in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears. The transmission of torque from the engine to the transmission elements is carried out by a double-disc friction clutch. The clutch drive is hydraulic with a pneumatic booster. The rear axle is a double transmission, consisting of a central gearbox and wheel gears. The drive axle ratio is 7.79. Open type cardan transmission with hinges on needle bearings
Clutch adjustment
The MAZ-5551 is equipped with a traditional double-disc friction clutch for powerful trucks. The elements of this unit are subject to wear due to significant overloads during operation and require periodic maintenance.
Adjusting the MAZ-5551 clutch is required, for example, in the following cases:
- clutch slipping at high speeds
- crackling sound when changing gear
- The clutch doesn't disengage completely
Three main stages can be distinguished:
1. Setting the gap of 1 mm between the adjusting screws and the middle drive disk is carried out as follows:
- remove the hatch covers to gain access to the clutch and flywheel,
- with the clutch engaged, move the gearshift lever to neutral,
- unscrew the locknuts and screw all the adjusting screws into the middle drive disk until it stops; to do this, turn the flywheel,
- Loosen the screws 1 turn and tighten the locknuts with slight force.
2. Ensuring a gap of 3.3...3.7 mm between the nut and the rear valve cover. To adjust, you need to loosen the lock nut and set the gap to the desired size by tightening the adjusting nut.
3. Adjusting the pedal free play. The standard value is 34-43 mm (measured with a ruler when the pneumatic system is empty).

YaMZ 238b gearbox with a range multiplier: device diagram, repair
YaMZ 238 is a diesel engine with 8 cylinders. The YaMZ 238b variant is found on such powerful vehicles as MAZ, Ural, and construction transport equipment. These vehicles have a large performance reserve.
Features of the YaMZ gearbox
The YaMZ-2381 (8-speed manual transmission) includes a 4-speed gearbox and a 2-range range multiplier (short divider), which is designed to increase the torque. The YaMZ-238VM model complies with the necessary environmental standards. The presence of an additional box is typical for trucks. The diagram of this box shows the presence of a driveshaft mounting flange here. It should be noted that YaMZ gearboxes can be designed not only for 8 gears, but also for 5, 6, 9, 14.
YaMZ device
YaMZ deviceThe YaMZ-238A version has been discontinued. An excellent alternative to it are models 238ВМ4 (5)(7).
There are synchronizers on all forward gears. Synchronizers ensure not only smooth running, but also silent gear shifting.
An integral part of the YaMZ 238b gearbox is the air distributor. This device provides direct switching of air flows. The mechanism is securely fixed in the upper crankcase cover.
Air distributor YaMZ 238
The article number of the gearbox housing for YaMZ 238 is 1701015. This element has a solid base and is part of the transmission system. Its main function is to protect gearbox parts from dirt, water, and dust. Shafts, bushings, gear blocks, couplings, and nuts are designed for a long working life.
Transmission care
The driver of a vehicle equipped with a gearbox such as the YaMZ 238 must promptly visit a service center, where service workers using computer equipment can fully check the vehicle system. Self-care of the gearbox may involve the car owner changing the oil and flushing the crankcase. To flush the crankcase, it is advisable to use special liquid industrial oils that comply with GOST.
The frequency of when the oil should be changed directly depends on what driving style the car owner follows.
The replacement of individual components on the YaMZ 236, 238, 2381, 239 gearbox can be indicated by the fact that the oil poured into the crankcase is overheating, and characteristic noises have appeared from the gearbox. Repairs may involve installing new shafts, bearings, cuffs and other consumables related to the gearbox.

How to change gears on a MAZ with a divider
The MAZ gear shift pattern depends on the type of gearbox installed on various models of MAZ cars. If you have MAZ 64229, MAZ 54323 cars, then they have a YaMZ 238A gearbox installed. It is a combination of a 4-speed gearbox and a two-stage range. That is, in fact, this gearbox is eight-speed.
The gear shift diagram for MAZ models MA3 555I, MA3 53371, MAZ 5337, MAZ 5433, MA3 54331 is different. After all, the YaMZ 236P gearbox installed on these machines is five-speed. Among other things, some MAZ models are equipped with imported gearboxes that are adapted for the engines installed on MAZs. Such an example is the ZF 16S-1650, which has 16 steps, the ZF “Ecomid” 9S 1310 has 9 steps. These boxes are distinguished by the highest quality workmanship, great reliability, but at the same time, high-quality technical service.
Such different gearboxes, depending on car modifications, are made for a reason. This makes it easier to control, improves efficiency and increases the service life of the engine and gearbox mechanisms.
In order for the gearbox to serve for a long time, it is not enough to follow the MAZ gear shift pattern. It also needs to be properly maintained. Carry out all necessary routine maintenance to maintain the gearbox in good condition in a timely manner. The oil must be changed according to the instructions. Drain in a heated state through both holes in the pan. To flush the MAZ gearbox, you must use spindle oil. After this, we start the engine and “drive” it for 10 minutes. After this, drain the spindle and fill it with new one according to the map. It is strictly forbidden to wash the gearbox with kerosene or diesel fuel if you do not want the oil pump to break.

The relay and fuse panel on the MAZ 4370 looks like this:
Relays and fuses in the MAZ-4370 cab
Oil pump
The MAZ-4370 gearbox is equipped with an oil pump, which has a ball valve that serves to limit the oil pressure in the transmission system. The crankcase of the unit is equipped with an internal partition, which causes the release of used oil through two holes blocked by special plugs.
Gear control is carried out via a lever located in the cab. The operating principle of the circuit is to mechanically switch a remote drive located above the power unit. In the bracket of the transmission unit crankcase cover there is a pair of support rollers that serve to change speeds using grooves and necks located on the adjusting rods.
In the middle position, the lever is located with a pin with a lock and a spring upward. At this time, the lower analogue of the fuse is activated along with the spring. The pin is externally mounted in the swing compartment of the first and reverse gears. The leash is mounted on a hinge pin mounted at the front of the box lid.
MAZ “Zubrenok” checkpoint: work
When this unit operates, the housing ring of the housing is pressed against the cone by the gears. In this regard, the friction between the contacting surfaces causes rotation and installation of the cavity on the slot with the coupling pin, and the element is blocked by the housing.
The frame then interacts with the gear cone due to the resulting force applied to the gear shifter. After the effect of friction occurs between the speed cones and the gear with the clutch, the load forces are leveled and the locking device releases the clutch from the base of the synchronizer. Next, the coupling moves by extruding the balls of the locking device, which moves to the side. Then the gear ring of the assembly engages with the internal teeth of the mechanism, which entails the inclusion of one or another gear.

Dump truck MAZ-5551
It is impossible to imagine a single construction site in Russia without the MAZ-5551 dump truck. This hereditary “handyman” has been successfully transporting goods for a long time. Considering that its direct descendant MAZ-503 went on line in November 1958 and did not change too much, receiving a new code in 1985, then its history goes back almost 50 years.
The appearance of the dump truck is not burdened by modern design, but is as convenient as possible for work. Nothing extra. When moving to production of the MAZ-5551, they took into account a very important drawback of its predecessor, associated with the “unfastening” of the cab. The spring mechanism was replaced by a hydraulic drive, which eliminated the risk of abnormal “unfastening” in the event of spontaneous opening of the locks. To finally secure this operation, the developers complicated it by the need to open the radiator grille using a mounting tool. The cabin is double, but very spacious. Between the seats there is a convenient shelf for documents and necessary things. The only thing missing is a cigarette lighter and an ashtray - at MAZ “for a healthy lifestyle.”
The driver's seat is sprung. However, according to reviews from drivers of the MAZ-5551, it is not very convenient. The passenger seat is firmly attached to the floor. Considering that the cabin has no shock absorption at the mounting points, the entire stiffness of the suspension directly affects the comfort of the seats for both driver and passenger. The steering wheel along with the adjustable steering column also does not provide a comfortable feel. The instrument panel is to working standard. The only negative is the weakness of the light indication.
Speaking of technical characteristics, the base MAZ-5551 is equipped with a 180-horsepower YaMZ-236M2 engine, equipped with a 5-speed YaMZ-236P gearbox. Fuel tank with a capacity of 200 liters. Modifications can be equipped with a more advanced power unit YaMZ-6581.10 with a YaMZ-2361 gearbox or even a Deutz BF4M1013FC with a ZF 6S850 gearbox. The carrying capacity of this vehicle is ~ 10 tons.
The MAZ-5551 dump truck is equipped with an all-metal body with rear unloading. However, modifications are equipped with unloading systems that allow unloading on three sides. A convenient underbody heating system allows you to work efficiently in winter. The anti-roll bar installed behind the rear axle gives the dump truck confidence when entering turns when loaded. The pneumatic brakes work reliably. The only drawback is the long download time of the system.

Many people remember that in Soviet times, almost no construction was carried out without the participation of the MAZ-5551. In addition to the construction sector, this model was often used in various sectors of activity, which include urban and agricultural sectors, construction and repair of highways, and industrial use. It mainly transports various bulk materials. Despite the emergence of numerous new products in the truck industry, it was not possible to oust this hard worker from the market. This is due to the constant modernization and introduction of modern technologies into production, which still produces this model.
The production of MAZ-5551 began in 1985 and has already lasted more than 30 years. Its old-style design, and in particular the front part, did not prevent it from remaining one of the most popular trucks in the domestic markets. This unit belongs to the eight-ton cargo class.
Among all the car models produced by the Minsk Automobile Plant, MAZ-5551 is the oldest model. The prototype for its creation was the MAZ-5337. During the entire production period, no worthy competitors were found for the MAZ in question. Of the few, some KamAZ and ZIL models can be distinguished, but they have a 6x4 wheelbase, which makes it possible to transport cargo on a “long shoulder”. The wheelbase of our sprinter, which is designed to work over short distances, is 4x2, which historically determined its use on urban construction sites.

Viscosity level
Manufacturers offer gear oil for the rear axle, which has different viscosity ratings. Manufacturers comply with international specifications that apply to gear oil. The recognized unified classification SAE J306 has been used throughout the world for a long time. It was developed by scientists from America
It is important to familiarize yourself with all the parameters and indicators that index the viscosity level of transmission oil
If the manufacturer indicates the letter W with the marking, then gear oil can be poured into the rear axle all year round. It will not freeze when the temperature drops and there is severe frost. The absence of a designation indicates products for the summer period
It is important to remember that gear oil is divided into seasons, so you need to pay attention to this parameter when choosing
Manufacturers began to produce thickened or all-season products. It differs in chemical composition. The marking is indicated by the corresponding index.

In this article, we will tell you what functions the gearbox performs in a MAZ engine, make several recommendations for repairs, and also indicate a MAZ gearshift diagram with a divider, which you can examine and study in detail.
[Hide]
Components of the MAZ gearbox
The vehicle's gearbox (MAZ) includes several gears that are connected to the gear control lever. Each of the available gears performs its function and rotates at a certain speed, ensuring effective control of the machine.
MAZ checkpoint
The manufacturer placed the box in a MAZ car between the crankshaft and driveshaft. The crankshaft is a component part characterized by a complex design. High demands were placed on the production of this element. The cardan shaft is an equally reliable working mechanism, the function of which is to transmit the moment of force between the shafts.
Gearbox drive
In addition to the shafts, the MAZ manual transmission includes a crankcase, a mortar, and synchronizers. Speed adjustment on the machine is carried out by changing gears. By interacting with each other, the gears are able to both increase and decrease the speed of the MAZ. The lever with the gear divider operates effectively.
MAZ gearbox diagram
The MAZ gearbox air distributor is designed to switch air flows. The device is located in the upper crankcase cover.
The MAZ transfer case is a complex mechanism that provides wheel locking and affects gear changes.
A MAZ gearbox with a range control includes a drive gear of the intermediate shaft, which is equipped with a damper. The damper helps reduce vibrations. The MAZ pillow helps suppress noise from the gearbox while driving.
Demultiplier circuit
Change of oil
In order to change the oil in a MAZ gearbox, you must:
- Drive about 5-10 km by vehicle to warm up the old oil in the box. At elevated temperatures it becomes liquid and is easy to drain.
- 10-15 minutes after stopping the engine, place the vehicle on a lift or inspection pit.
- Remove the crankcase protective cover.
- Unscrew the plug and check the volume of oil fluid in the manual transmission.
- Check the gasket for wear and, if necessary, replace it with a new one.
- Replace worn filter elements.
- Open the drain hole and drain the oil into a prepared container.
- Fill with new oil fluid.
- Screw on the drain cap.
- Reinstall the clutch protective cover.
- Start the engine and check the oil level at various speeds.
Repairing a MAZ gearbox - useful tips
The MAZ gearbox is a reliable mechanism for a modern truck. We wrote about the structure of the unit here.
You can get acquainted with the repair of MAZ spare parts in this article (part 1).
Today we will continue to study the repair of the MAZ gearbox.
So, the steel intermediate shaft of the MAZ gearbox is cemented on the teeth. The part requires repair in the following cases:
- Broken teeth;
- Wear;
- Surface chipping.
To repair MAZ boxes, a special crown is installed. Carefully anneal the neck.
The crown of the part is brought to high temperature using high-frequency equipment. The shaft is straightened, eliminating runout using a hydraulic press.
A machine is used to correct center holes.
- The crown is pressed on.
- Create a tension of no more than 0.05 mm.
- Heat treatment of the steel crown is performed.
- For welding, a circular seam and an electrode are used.
Urgent repair of a MAZ gearbox with a damaged journal journal divider is carried out by surfacing using chrome plating.
I cement the steel block of reverse gears onto the teeth. Repair of MAZ boxes is carried out when:
- Sharp breaks on the teeth;
- Chipping;
- Wear.
The crown with defects is annealed. Heat the part to 800 degrees. They install a new one, carefully pressing the spare part onto the neck. Provide tension up to 0.08 millimeters.
If during the disassembly and assembly of the MAZ gearbox the holes for the bearings are deformed, grind them.
The durable gearbox gear is annealed in an electric furnace. Remove damaged teeth. The holes are bored to install the crown. A lathe is used for processing. After pressing, check the runout.
Repair of a MAZ gearbox with a pump housing divider is necessary in case of breakdown:
- Gear socket;
- Axles;
- Holes (appear in bushings).
To restore the nests, boring is performed. When disassembling and assembling a MAZ gearbox, all holes for bolted connections are trimmed. Having installed the body, the end is processed.
If, as a result of wear, the gear diameter has become less than 13.95 millimeters, the spare part is replaced with a new one.
- A small hole is made in the body.
- The axle with the defect is pressed out.
- A new part is installed, the socket is welded with an electrode.
- The axis should be buried 1 mm into the surface of the housing.
If the holes in the bushing are worn, it is necessary to secure the tap. To repair MAZ boxes:
- Rotate the body and screw in the part.
- The bushing is pressed out.
- They install a new spare part.
If scuffs and risks are visible on the base of the pump, repair work is carried out, as well as disassembly and assembly of the MAZ gearbox.
Grinding of the end surface is performed on a special machine. The area should be 0.5 millimeters higher.
We remind you that you can buy parts for the MAZ gearbox in our catalog. For you - a great price, fast delivery and the best service.
Device
MAZ-5551 without a sleeping place is much more spacious than KamAZ vehicles. Thanks to the well-positioned handrails and steps, climbing into the dump truck cab is extremely easy. True, the ergonomics of the cabin is not the truck's strongest point. Although the seat cushion moves and the steering column is adjusted in two planes, there is no need to talk about driver comfort. The car's cabin has good visibility, but discomfort causes increased fatigue, which is especially evident on long routes. The huge steering wheel also does not add comfort, since small drivers have to lean forward to turn it.
The MAZ-5551 instrument panel is quite informative and convenient. However, there are also disadvantages here. The light indication has low brightness, so it is difficult to see in the daytime.
However, there are many more successful solutions in the dump truck cab. The layout of the relay and fuse box behind the dashboard is very convenient and makes it easy to get to. An efficient heating system, sunroof and interior lighting add to the comfortable driving experience.
Thanks to large rear-view mirrors, the visibility and safety of driving the MAZ-5551 is increased.
The driver's seat has a suspension system and is adjustable in several directions. However, the cabin is still not truly comfortable, since there is no shock absorption system in the car. The passenger seat is directly attached to the floor.
Cabin
What interesting things did the designers do to improve the ergonomics and ease of driving the MAZ? There are plenty of changes, and all of them are very pleasant. The cabin became cozy and spacious. Even without a berth, two passengers can easily fit here, not counting the driver himself.
Well-designed handrails and steps make getting into the cabin quick and easy. The seat can be moved and adjusted - unfortunately, only the passenger seat. In the 90s, not every car had an adjustable steering wheel, but the MAZ-5551 has it. The first drawback was noticed in the cockpit - the steering wheel was too large. If you are not tall, you will need to lean forward a little with each turn. It is unlikely that such an innovation can be considered a convenience.
The instrument panel leaves a mixed impression. On the one hand, it is quite informative, on the other, it has low brightness, which is why individual elements are practically invisible in the daytime. A well-placed safety box is a definite plus of the MAZ-5551. However, as well as efficient heating, which copes with the task perfectly even in severe frosts. Between the passenger and the driver there is a small compartment in which you can hide various small items - documents, keys, bottled water, etc.

The need for gearbox care
Helps to extend the life of the speed box - its timely maintenance. In particular, the car owner must monitor the efficiency of the gears and control lever, and control the level of oil poured into the MAZ car system.
If it is necessary to repair the gearbox on a MAZ, it is necessary to remove the gearbox from its original location. The device must be visually inspected for external deformation. There is a high probability that this is precisely the reason that the gearbox “does not obey” the driver’s commands. If there are no deformations, you can begin to disassemble the gearbox into components.
If the MAZ gearbox circuit fails, the following signs will appear:
- Some gears do not work, for example, 4 and 5;
- difficulty in manual switching is noted.
To flush the gearbox, about 3 liters of special oil are required. Repair of a MAZ gearbox may involve restoring axles, washing, or fault-defecting the gearbox. Also, the crankcase and cover are subject to repair.
MAZ vehicles are equipped with engines produced by the Yaroslavl plant, MMZ, MAN, Deutz, Mercedes-Benz, Cummins. Therefore, each MAZ gearbox installed together with these engines has design features. Most gearboxes preferred by the automaker are manual. The task of the gearbox is to act as an “intermediary” between the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and the drive wheels when transmitting torque, while changing its magnitude and direction. Using the gearbox, the driver can separate the internal combustion engine and transmission.
