Clutch and steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, tends to wear out faster than the other: it is the clutch system of course. Obviously with the gearbox, in close connection. It happens quite frequently that gearshift problems occur on this + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often the cause, it sometimes happens that we are surprised at the reason for the problems. Also, this avoids changing the complete kit from time to time. So here are the gear change issues the most regular.speed-pass-more-Opel-Olympia

+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds

Sometimes one of the gears no longer shifts. Or just even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is worn. However, this is not necessarily linked to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It may be that the marigold originates from a link or from a rubber which holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. You can disassemble it to check that nothing outside is blocking it. If the latter is defective, it will have to be changed.

Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common concern. Since the engine block is off it is possible to shift your gears, this implies that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine block is running, it is impossible. The concern comes from the clutch. In general it will be essential to change the complete clutch kit. You can always deposit it and check the condition of all the parts. As a reminder, it is advisable to change the clutch every 150 km.

+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes

If none of the gears work, the engine off or in working order, it's really annoying. The first thing to check is the condition of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a high probability that it will be HS. In order to understand where the problem came from, it's relatively easy. If you can push the lever in the guide of a speed, but the speed does not take, it is the clutch which certainly holds a concern. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the problem probably comes from the gearbox. In both cases, you will most certainly have to change one or more parts.
