The clutch and steering are two mechanical devices that the driver steers. One said that the habit of deteriorating faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. Obviously with the gearbox, which goes with it. It happens quite frequently that gearshift concerns arise on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often involved, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the reason for the concerns. In addition, it avoids from time to time to change the whole kit. Here are the gearshift concerns The most common.speed-pass-more-Suzuki-Kizashi

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

It happens from time to time that one of the gears does not pass any more. Or only even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is worn. However, this is not necessarily linked to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It happens that the concern comes from a link or a rubber which holds it. The problem can still come from the gearbox. It can be removed to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If the latter 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 is off it is possible to shift your gears, that means that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The concern comes from the clutch. Usually it will be necessary to replace the entire clutch kit. You can still drop it and look at the status of all components. For information, it is recommended to replace the clutch every 150 km.

+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes

If none of the gears pass, the engine off as on, it's really unpleasant. One thing to watch is the wear and tear on 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's rather simple. If you can put the lever in the guide of a speed, but that the speed does not take, it is the clutch which probably has a problem. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the problem certainly comes from the gearbox. For both, you most likely need to replace one or more parts.
