Clutch and steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, is used to deteriorating faster than the other: it is the clutch system of course. Obviously with the gearbox, which goes with it. Quite frequently, gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often the cause, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the cause of the problems. In addition, it avoids at times replacing the complete kit. So here are the gear change issues The most common.speed-pass-plus-Citroen-Visa

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

It often happens that one of the gears no longer shifts. Or only even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is damaged. But it is not inevitably due to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It may be that the malfunction is due to a link or a rubber that holds it. The malfunction can also happen from the gearbox. It can be dismantled to check that no external component is blocking it. If it is defective, it will have to be changed.

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

It is unfortunately a rather recurrent dysfunction. Since the engine is off, it is still possible to shift your gears, this means that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The malfunction must come from the clutch. Generally it will be necessary to change the complete clutch kit. You can try to put it down and look at the condition of all the parts. As a reminder, it is still recommended to change the clutch every 150 km.

+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes

If none of the gears pass, the engine off or in working order, it's really annoying. The first thing to look at is the wear and tear on the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a good chance that it will be out of service. In order to discern where the dysfunction comes from, it's relatively simple. If you can push the lever in the guide of a speed, but the speed does not take, it is the clutch which undoubtedly holds a malfunction. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the malfunction probably comes from the gearbox. In both cases, you will most likely have to change one or more parts.
