The clutch and the steering are two mechanical systems that the motorist directs. One, however, is used to wear out faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. In particular with the gearbox, in close connection. Rather frequently, gearshift concerns arise on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is regularly involved, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the source of the problems. In addition, it avoids from time to time to change the whole kit. These are the gearshift concerns the most regular.speed-pass-plus-Toyota-Avensis-3

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

It often happens that one of the gears no longer shifts. Or only even or odd speeds. In this situation, the clutch is in poor condition. However, this is not necessarily linked to the entire clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the problem comes from a link or a rubber which holds it. The problem can also arise from the gearbox. You can disassemble it to check that no external component is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it will have to be changed.

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

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common problem. Since the engine is off it is possible to shift your gears, this implies that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The problem comes from the clutch. Often it will be necessary to replace the entire clutch kit. You can always dismantle it and check the condition of all the components. For information, it is advisable 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 annoying. The first thing to check is the condition of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a good chance that the latter is HS. In order to understand where the problem comes from it's relatively simple. If you can put the lever in the guide of one of the speeds, but that the speed does not engage, it is the clutch which undoubtedly holds a problem. If the lever seems to be stuck and you can't push it, the problem is probably the gearbox. For both, it will most certainly replace one or more parts.
