The clutch and the steering are two mechanical devices that the motorist controls. One, however, is used to wear out 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 frequently involved, it happens that we have surprises about the source of the problems. Also, this sometimes avoids replacing the complete 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 just even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is in poor condition. However, this is not necessarily due to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It happens that the concern comes from a link or a rubber which holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. You can drop it to check that nothing outside 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 fairly common concern. Since the engine is off it is 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 concern must come from the clutch. Often it will be necessary to change the complete clutch kit. You can always remove it and check the condition of all the components. As a reminder, it is recommended to change the clutch every 150 km.
+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes
If none of the gears are working, the engine off as on, it's really unpleasant. The first thing to check is the wear and tear on the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a good chance that the latter is HS. To discern where the concern came from, it's relatively simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of a speed, but the speed does not engage, the clutch is probably the problem. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the problem probably comes from the gearbox. In both cases, you will most certainly have to change one or more parts.
