The clutch and the steering are two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One has said the habit of deteriorating faster than the other: it is the clutch system of course. With of course the gearbox, in close connection. It happens quite frequently that gearshift problems occur on this + str (XXX) +. And although the clutch is frequently involved, it happens that we are surprised at the cause of the problems. In addition, this sometimes avoids having to change the entire kit. Here are therefore the gear change issues the most common.speed-pass-plus-Toyota-Highlander-2

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

It happens at times that one of the speeds does not pass any more. Or only even or odd speeds. In this case, the clutch is worn. But this is not necessarily due to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. It happens that the malfunction comes from a rod or a rubber that holds it. The malfunction can also happen from the gearbox. It can be removed in order to check that no external component is blocking it. If the latter is defective, it will have to be replaced.

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

Unfortunately, this is a rather common dysfunction. Since the engine block is off, it is possible to change your gears, this implies that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine block has started, it is impossible. The fault is with the clutch. Usually it will be necessary to replace the entire clutch kit. You can try to remove 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 unpleasant. One thing to check is the condition of your str (XXX) + gearbox. There may be a good chance that it is out of service. To discern where the dysfunction comes from is rather simple. If you can push the lever into the guide of one of the speeds, but the speed does not pick up, the clutch is probably malfunctioning. If the lever seems stuck and you cannot push it, the fault is certainly with the gearbox. For both, it will most likely be necessary to replace one or more parts.
