The clutch and the steering are two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One nevertheless has the habit of being damaged faster than the other: it is the clutch device naturally. With in particular the gearbox, which is closely linked. It happens quite frequently that gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And although the clutch is frequently involved, sometimes you are surprised at the reason for the problems. Also, it sometimes avoids replacing the entire kit. Here are the gear change issues the most common.
+ 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. Therefore, the clutch is worn. However, this is not necessarily due to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. The problem may be with a connecting rod or a rubber holding it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. It can be dismantled to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If it is damaged, it must be changed.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a fairly common problem. Since the engine block is off, it is still possible to change gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine block has started, it is impossible. The problem is with the clutch. In general it will be necessary to change the entire clutch kit. You can still remove it and check the condition of all 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 shift with the engine off or running, it's really unpleasant. One thing to check is the wear of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a good chance that the latter is out of service. In order to understand where the problem comes from it's quite simple. If you can put the lever in the guide of a gear, but the gear does not engage, the clutch is probably the problem. If the lever seems stuck and you can't push it, the problem is probably with the gearbox. In both cases, it is very likely that one or more parts need to be changed.
