The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical devices that the motorist controls. One nevertheless tends to be damaged faster than the other: it is the clutch device of course. Obviously with the gearbox, in close connection. Quite frequently, gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if 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 complete kit. So here are the gear change issues the most common.speed-pass-more-Toyota-Cressida

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

Sometimes one of the gears no longer shifts. Or only even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is damaged. But this is not necessarily related to the entire 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 still happen from the gearbox. It can be removed to verify that no external component is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it must be replaced.

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

Unfortunately, this is a fairly recurring problem. Since the engine block is off it is possible to shift your gears, this implies that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine block is on, it is impossible. The problem comes from the clutch. Usually it will be essential to change the complete clutch kit. You can try to disassemble it and check the condition of each of the components. As a reminder, it is recommended 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 check is the wear and tear on the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a high probability that the latter will be HS. In order to discern where the problem came from it's quite simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of a speed, but the speed does not take, the clutch is probably the problem. If the lever seems to be blocked and you cannot push it, the problem probably comes from the gearbox. For both, it will most likely be necessary to change one or more parts.
