The clutch and the steering are two mechanical devices that the motorist controls. One said that the habit of deteriorating faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. Obviously with the gearbox, which is closely linked. It happens rather regularly that gearshift problems occur on this + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is frequently involved, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the source of the problems. Also, this sometimes avoids replacing the complete kit. Here are consequently the gear change issues the most regular.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
Sometimes one of the gears does not pass any more. Or only even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is in poor condition. However, this is not necessarily due to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It may be that the problem comes from a link or a rubber that holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. You can disassemble it to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If it is damaged, it will have to be replaced.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a fairly recurring concern. Since the engine is off, it is still possible to shift your gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The concern must come from the clutch. Generally it will be necessary to replace the complete clutch kit. You can try to disassemble it and check the condition of all 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, the engine off or in working order, it's really unpleasant. One thing to check is the wear and tear on the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a good chance that the latter is HS. In order to understand where the concern comes from it's relatively easy. If you can push the lever in the guide of one of the speeds, but the speed does not take, it is the clutch which probably presents a problem. 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 have to replace one or more parts.
