The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the motorist steers. One said that it wont be damaged faster than the other: it is the clutch system of course. With in particular the gearbox, which is closely linked. Rather frequently, gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, it sometimes happens that we are surprised at the reason for the problems. In addition, it avoids at times replacing the entire kit. So here are the gear change issues The most common.speed-pass-more-Citroen-Xsara

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

Sometimes one of the gears no longer shifts. Or only even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is in poor condition. But it is not necessarily related to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the marigold comes from a link or from a rubber that holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. You can disassemble it to check that no external component is blocking it. If it is damaged, it must be changed.

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

This is unfortunately a rather frequent concern. Since the engine block is off it is possible to shift your gears, that means that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine block is on, it is impossible. The problem stems from the clutch. Usually it will be necessary to change the entire clutch kit. You can try to deposit it and check the condition of all parts. For information, it is advisable to change the clutch every 150 km.

+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes

If none of the gears pass, the engine off as on, it's really unpleasant. The first thing to check is the state of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a good chance that the latter is HS. In order to discern where the problem originated, it is relatively simple. If you can put the lever in the guide of a speed, but that the speed does not engage, it is the clutch which probably holds a concern. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the problem certainly comes from the gearbox. For both, it will most certainly change one or more rooms.
