The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the motorist operates. One nevertheless has a habit of wearing out more quickly than the other: it is of course the clutch system. With in particular the gearbox, in close connection. It happens quite frequently that gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even though the clutch is frequently involved, it sometimes happens that we are surprised at the source of the problems. In addition, this sometimes avoids changing the entire kit. Here are the gearshift concerns the most usual.
+ 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. As a result, 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 problem comes from a rod or a rubber that holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. It is possible to remove it to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it will have to be changed.
Unable to change gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is started
Unfortunately, this is a fairly recurring problem. Since the engine unit is off, it is possible to shift gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine block is running, it is impossible. The problem is with the clutch. Generally it will be essential to replace the entire clutch kit. You can try to remove it and check the condition of all the parts. As a reminder, it is recommended to replace the clutch every 150 km.
+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes
If none of the gears change, the engine off as on, it's really annoying. The first thing to check is the condition of your + str (XXX) + gearbox. There may be a good chance that the latter is HS. To understand where the problem came from is relatively easy. If you can push the lever into the guide of one of the speeds, but the speed does not pick up, the clutch is definitely having a problem. If the lever seems stuck and you can't push it, the problem is most likely with the gearbox. For both, it will certainly be necessary to replace one or more parts.
