The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the motorist operates. One, however, tends to be damaged more quickly than the other: it is of course the clutch device. Obviously with the gearbox, closely linked. Rather, it often happens that gearshift malfunctions occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, it happens that we have surprises about the source of the malfunctions. In addition, it sometimes avoids having to change the entire kit. Here are therefore the gearshift malfunctions The most common.speed-pass-more-Citroen-Traction-11

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

It sometimes happens that one of the speeds no longer works. Or only even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is worn. But it is not necessarily related to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the concern is due to a rod or a rubber that holds it. The problem can still come from the gearbox. You can dismantle it to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If it is defective, it will have to be replaced.

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 still possible to shift gears, it means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine block is running, it is impossible. The concern comes from the clutch. Usually it will be essential to replace the entire clutch kit. You can try to take it apart and look at the condition of all the components. As a reminder, it is still recommended to replace 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 look at is the condition of your str (XXX) + gearbox. There may be a high probability that the latter is out of service. In order to discern where the concern comes from it is quite easy. If you can squeeze the lever into a gear guide, but the gear doesn't engage, the clutch is certainly the issue. If the lever seems stuck and you cannot push it, the problem is probably due to the gearbox. In both cases, it will certainly be necessary to replace one or more parts.
