The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical systems that the motorist controls. One has that said tend to deteriorate faster than the other: it is the clutch device of course. With in particular the gearbox, which goes with it. It happens relatively regularly that gearshift malfunctions occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, it happens that we are surprised at the source of the malfunctions. In addition, this sometimes eliminates the need to replace the entire kit. Here are the gearshift malfunctions the most regular.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
It happens at times that one of the speeds does not pass any more. Or just even or odd speeds. In this case, 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 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 will have to be changed.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a fairly recurring problem. Since the engine is off, it is possible to shift gears, this means that the + str (XXX) + gearbox is operational. Once the engine is running, it is impossible. The problem must be with the clutch. Usually it will be necessary to replace the entire clutch kit. You can try to remove it and check the condition of all the components. For information, it is advisable to replace the clutch every 150 km.
+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes
If none of the gears are working, with the engine off or running, it's really annoying. The first thing to check is the wear of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a good chance that the latter is HS. In order to discern where the problem comes from it is relatively simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of one of the speeds, but the speed 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. For both of them, it will most likely be necessary to replace one or more parts.
