The clutch and the steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One, however, is used to wearing out faster than the other: it is of course the clutch device. With obviously the gearbox, which is closely related. It happens quite regularly that gearshift problems occur on the + str (XXX) +. And although the clutch is often involved, sometimes you are surprised at the reason for the problems. In addition, this avoids from time to time replacing the entire kit. So here are the gear change issues the most usual.
+ str (XXX) +: Impossible to pass one of the speeds
It sometimes happens that one of the gears no longer works. Or only even or odd speeds. As a result, the clutch is damaged. But this is not inevitably linked to the entire 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 come from the gearbox. It is possible to drop it in order to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If it is damaged, you must replace it.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a rather recurring dysfunction. Since the engine is off it is possible to shift gears, this implies that the + str (XXX) + gearbox is in good condition. Once the engine is running, it is impossible. The fault is with the clutch. Usually it will be essential to change the entire clutch kit. You can still take it apart and look at the condition of all the parts. As a reminder, it is recommended to change the clutch every 150 km.
+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes
If none of the gears shift with the engine off or running, it's really annoying. One thing to watch is the condition of your str (XXX) + gearbox. There is a good chance that it will be out of service. To discern where the dysfunction comes from is relatively simple. If you can squeeze the lever into the guide of a gear, but the gear does not engage, 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.
