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

It happens regularly that one of the gears no longer works. Or just even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is in bad condition. But this is not necessarily linked to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It is possible that the malfunction is due to a link or a rubber that holds it. The malfunction can still come from the gearbox. It can be disassembled to check that no foreign component is blocking it. If it is damaged, you must change it.

Unable to change gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is started

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common malfunction. Since the engine block is off, it is still possible to shift gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine block is on, it is impossible. The fault is with the clutch. In general, it will be advisable to change the complete clutch kit. You can try to remove it and look at the condition of each of the parts. For information, it is still advisable to change 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 condition of your str (XXX) + gearbox. There is a good chance that the latter is HS. In order to discern where the dysfunction comes from it is quite simple. If you can squeeze the lever into a gear guide, but the gear does not pick up, the clutch is likely to be malfunctioning. If the lever seems stuck and you cannot push it, the fault is probably with the gearbox. For both, you most likely need to change one or more parts.
