Clutch and steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, has the habit of deteriorating faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. Of course with the gearbox, in close connection. It happens rather regularly that gearshift problems occur on this + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is frequently the cause, it sometimes happens that we are surprised at the reason for the problems. In addition, from time to time it avoids changing the complete kit. So here are the gear change issues The most common.
+ 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 case, the clutch is damaged. But it is not inevitably due to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. The problem may be caused by a link or a rubber that holds it. The problem can also come from the gearbox. You can disassemble it to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If the latter is defective, 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 is off it is possible to shift your gears, this implies that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine is started, it is impossible. The problem comes from the clutch. Generally it will be essential to replace the complete clutch kit. You can try to disassemble it and look at the condition of all the parts. 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 or in working order, it's really annoying. The first thing to look at is the state of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a good chance that the latter is HS. In order to discern where the problem came from it's relatively easy. If you can push the lever into the guide of a speed, but it does not engage, the clutch is probably the problem. If the lever seems to be stuck and you cannot push it, the problem is certainly due to the gearbox. For both, it will most likely have to replace one or more parts.
