The clutch and the steering are two mechanical devices that the motorist controls. One nevertheless has a habit of wearing out more quickly than the other: it is obviously the clutch system. With obviously the gearbox, which goes with it. It happens quite frequently that gearshift problems occur on this + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often involved, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the cause of the problems. In addition, it sometimes avoids changing the entire kit. So here are the gear change issues the most usual.pass-speed-plus-Kia-Optima-2-Sw

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

It happens at times that one of the speeds no longer passes. Or just even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is worn. However, this is not necessarily linked to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the concern comes from a rod or a rubber that holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. It is possible to remove it to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If it is damaged, you must change it.

Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common concern. Since the engine block is off, it is possible to shift gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine block is running, it is impossible. The concern comes from the clutch. Usually it will be necessary to change the entire clutch kit. You can try to remove it and look at the condition of all the parts. For information, it is 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 annoying. One thing to watch is the condition of your str (XXX) + gearbox. There is a good chance that the latter is out of service. In order to understand where the concern comes from, it is relatively easy. If you can push the lever into the guide for one gear, but the gear isn't picking up, the clutch is certainly the issue. If the lever seems stuck and you cannot push it, the problem is probably with the gearbox. In both cases, you most likely need to change one or more parts.
