GAZelle Next car

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.

Preparation for Gearbox Assembly

Required tools: torque wrench, soft-faced hammer (copper or polyurethane), drift set, feeler gauges, snap-ring pliers.

Materials: transmission oil, SHLUS-4 grease, anaerobic threadlocker, new cardboard and compressed paper gaskets, oil seals.

Safety precautions: Work on a clean bench. Before assembly, thoroughly wash all parts in kerosene or diesel fuel. Degrease the threaded holes of the casing with acetone or nitro paint thinner.
