Clutch and steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, is used to damaging faster than the other: it is the clutch device of course. In particular with the gearbox, in close connection. Rather frequently, gearshift malfunctions occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the cause of the malfunctions. In addition, it sometimes avoids having to change the entire kit. Here are the gearshift malfunctions the most usual.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
It sometimes happens that one of the gears no longer shifts. Or just even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is in poor condition. But it is not necessarily related to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. The problem may be caused by a link or a rubber that holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. You can drop it to verify that nothing foreign is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, you must replace it.
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 shift your gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The problem comes from the clutch. Usually it will be essential to replace the entire clutch kit. You can try to take it apart and look at the condition of all the components. For information, it is 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. The first thing to look at is the state of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. Chances are that it will be out of service. In order to understand where the problem comes from it is rather simple. If you can push the lever in the guide of a speed, but the speed does not take, 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 either case, you most likely need to replace one or more parts.
