The GAZelle family of commercial and cargo-passenger vehicles in the LCV segment, manufactured by GAZ OJSC and also assembled using industrial assembly technology in Kazakhstan (Almaty), Lithuania (Rokiškis), and Iran (Tehran), was expanded in 2013 with the new NEXT model, a major upgrade of the previous GAZ-3302/2705 model.
The vehicle retains its frame structure, semi-bonneted cab, and longitudinal engine placement in the front of the cab.
Rear-wheel drive or, in the future (for all-wheel drive variants), dual-drive.
The main difference between the GAZelle NEXT and its predecessor is its independent front suspension and a completely new cabin with an anti-corrosion coating and plastic fenders.
Before starting to strip the gearbox, prepare your workplace. You will need: a set of ring and socket spanners (10, 12, 13, 22 mm), screwdrivers (flat and cross-head), a copper or polyurethane mallet, circlip pliers, mandrels for pressing in oil seals. Be sure to use clean rags and a container for collecting oil residues.
