The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, is used to getting damaged faster than the other: it is obviously the clutch mechanism. With in particular the gearbox, in close connection. Rather frequently, gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, sometimes we are surprised at the cause of the problems. In addition, it sometimes avoids changing the entire kit. Here are therefore the gear change issues the most common.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
It sometimes happens that one of the gears no longer works. Or only even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is worn. However, it is not inevitably related to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It may be that the malfunction comes from a rod or a rubber that holds it. The malfunction can also come from the gearbox. It can be removed in order to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If the latter is defective, it will have to be replaced.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a rather frequent dysfunction. Since the engine is off, it is possible to shift gears, this implies that the + str (XXX) + gearbox is in good condition. Once the engine is on, it is impossible. The fault must be with the clutch. Often it will be advisable to change the entire clutch kit. You can try to remove it and check the condition of each of the components. For information, it is advisable to change the clutch every 150 km.
+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes
If none of the gears are working with the engine off or running, it's really annoying. The first thing to check is the wear of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a high probability that the latter is HS. In order to understand where the dysfunction comes from it is rather easy. If you can put the lever in the guide of a gear, but the gear doesn't pick up, the clutch is certainly the one malfunctioning. If the lever seems stuck and you cannot push it, the fault is probably with the gearbox. In both cases, it will certainly be necessary to change one or more parts.
