So these are the gearshift malfunctions the most usual.speed-pass-more-Toyota-Tercel

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

It happens from time to time that one of the gears does not pass any more. Or just even or odd speeds. As a result, the clutch is damaged. However, this is not necessarily linked 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 also come from the gearbox. It is possible to remove it to check that no external element is blocking it. If it is damaged, it must be changed.

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

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.
