The problem can still arise from the gearbox. It is possible to dismantle it in order to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If it is damaged, you must replace it.

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

Unfortunately, this is a fairly recurring concern. Since the engine is off, it is still possible to shift your gears, this means that the + str (XXX) + gearbox is operational. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The concern comes from the clutch. Usually it will be advisable to replace the entire clutch kit. You can always put it down and look at the status of all the parts. As a reminder, it is still recommended to replace the clutch every 150 km.
