The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the driver controls. One has, however, a tendency to deteriorate faster than the other: it is obviously the clutch device. With of course the gearbox, which is closely related. It happens quite frequently that gearshift problems arise on this + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is frequently involved, it happens that we have surprises about the cause of the problems. In addition, it sometimes avoids replacing the entire kit. Here are therefore the gearshift concerns the most common.speed-pass-more-Kia-Sorento-3

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

It sometimes happens that one of the gears no longer works. Or just even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is damaged. But it is not inevitably linked to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It happens that the malfunction comes from a rod or a rubber that holds it. The malfunction can still happen from the gearbox. It is possible to remove it to check that no external component is blocking it. If it is deteriorated, it will have to be changed.

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

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common malfunction. Since the engine is off, it is still possible to change your gears, it means that the + str (XXX) + gearbox is operational. Once the engine is on, it is impossible. The fault is with the clutch. Usually it will be necessary to replace the entire clutch kit. You can still remove it and check the condition of all components. For information, it is still recommended to replace the clutch every 150 km.

+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes

If none of the gears change, with the engine stopped as if on, it's really annoying. One thing to check is the wear of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a high probability that it is out of service. In order to discern where the dysfunction comes from it is relatively simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of a gear, but the gear does not engage, the clutch is likely to be malfunctioning. If the lever seems stuck and you cannot push it, the problem is most likely with the gearbox. For both, it will most likely be necessary to replace one or more parts.
