The clutch and steering are the two mechanical devices that the driver controls. One, however, wont deteriorate faster than the other: it is the clutch mechanism of course. With in particular the gearbox, which is closely linked. It happens rather regularly that concerns of gear changes happen on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often involved, it happens that we have surprises about the cause of the concerns. In addition, it sometimes avoids changing the complete kit. Here are consequently the gearshift concerns the most usual.speed-pass-plus-Toyota-Prius-3

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

Sometimes one of the gears does not pass any more. Or just even or odd speeds. As a result, the clutch is in poor condition. However, this is not necessarily linked 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. It is possible to deposit it in order to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If it is damaged, you must replace it.

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

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common problem. Since the engine is off, it is still possible to shift your gears, this means that the gearbox of your + str (XXX) + is operational. Once the engine is running, it is impossible. The problem comes from the clutch. Often it will be advisable to change the complete clutch kit. You can always remove it and look at the status of each of the components. As a reminder, 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 annoying. One thing to look at is the condition of the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There is a high probability that it will be out of service. In order to understand where the problem comes from it's quite easy. If you can push the lever in the guide of a speed, but the speed does not engage, it is the clutch which probably has a problem. If the lever looks stuck and you can't push it, the problem is probably in the gearbox. For both, you most certainly need to change one or more rooms.
