The clutch and the steering are two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, is used to getting damaged faster than the other: it is of course the clutch mechanism. With of course the gearbox, which goes with it. It happens quite regularly that gearshift problems arise on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is frequently involved, sometimes we are surprised at the source of the problem. Also, it avoids at times having to change the complete kit. So here are the gearshift concerns the most usual.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
It happens regularly that one of the gears no longer works. Or only even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is damaged. But it is not necessarily linked to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the concern comes from a link or a rubber that holds it. The problem can still come from the gearbox. It is possible to disassemble it to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If it is defective, you must replace it.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a rather recurring concern. Since the engine block is off, it is still possible to shift gears, it means that the + str (XXX) + gearbox is operational. Once the engine block is on, it is impossible. The concern must come from the clutch. Usually it will be essential to change the complete clutch kit. You can always put it down and check the condition of each part. For information, it is still recommended to change the clutch every 150 km.
+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes
If none of the gears change, with the engine off as on, it's really annoying. One thing to check is the wear of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a good chance that it will be out of service. To understand where the concern comes from is rather easy. If you can squeeze the lever into the guide of one of the speeds, but the speed does not engage, the clutch is most likely having a problem. If the lever seems stuck and you can't push it, the problem is probably with the gearbox. In both cases, you most likely need to change one or more parts.
