The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the motorist steers. One has said that it tends to deteriorate faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. With in particular the gearbox, which goes with it. Rather regularly, gearshift malfunctions occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, it happens that we have surprises about the reason for the malfunctions. In addition, this occasionally avoids replacing the complete kit. These are the gearshift malfunctions the most regular.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
It sometimes happens that one of the gears no longer shifts. Or just even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is damaged. But this is not inevitably linked to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. The malfunction may come from a link or from the rubber that holds it. The malfunction can also come from the gearbox. It can be removed to verify that no external component is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it will have to be changed.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a rather recurring dysfunction. Since the engine block is off it is possible to shift your gears, this implies that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine block is running, it is impossible. The malfunction is due to the clutch. Generally it will be essential to replace the complete clutch kit. You can still drop it off and check the condition of all parts. As a reminder, it is advisable to replace 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. One thing to check is the condition of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a good chance that it will be HS. In order to understand where the malfunction comes from it's quite simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of one of the gears, but it does not take, it is the clutch which probably has a malfunction. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the malfunction is probably due to the gearbox. For both, it will most likely be necessary to replace one or more parts.
