The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the driver controls. One, however, has a habit of wearing out faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. With obviously the gearbox, in close connection. It happens relatively frequently that gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often involved, it happens that we have surprises about the source of the problems. Also, this sometimes avoids replacing the complete kit. Here are therefore the gear change issues the most common.speed-pass-more-Kia-Carens-2

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

It happens regularly that one of the speeds does not pass any more. Or only even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is in bad condition. But this is not necessarily linked to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the problem arises from a connecting rod or a rubber that holds it. The problem can also arise from the gearbox. It is possible to remove it to check that no external component is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it will have to be changed.

Unable to change gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is started

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common problem. Since the engine is off, it is possible to change your gears, this implies that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine has started, it is impossible. The problem is with the clutch. Often it will be essential to replace the complete clutch kit. You can try to disassemble it and check the condition of all the parts. For information, it is recommended to replace 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 condition of your str (XXX) + gearbox. There is a good chance that it will be out of service. To discern where the problem comes from is relatively simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of one of the gears, but the gear does not engage, the clutch is likely having a problem. If the lever seems stuck and you can't push it, the problem is most likely with the gearbox. In both cases, it will most likely be necessary to replace one or more parts.
