The clutch and steering are two mechanical devices that the driver controls. One has said that it tends to deteriorate faster than the other: it is the clutch device of course. In particular with the gearbox, in close connection. It happens rather regularly that concerns of gear changes happen on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is often the cause, it sometimes happens that we have surprises about the source of the worries. Also, it avoids from time to time to replace the complete kit. So these are the gearshift concerns the most regular.speed-pass-more-Volkswagen-Golf-7-Sw-Alltrack

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

Sometimes one of the gears does not pass any more. Or only even or odd speeds. As a result, the clutch is in poor condition. But it's not inevitably linked to the whole clutch kit or gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. Sometimes the malfunction comes from a link or a rubber that holds it. The malfunction can still come from the gearbox. It can be dismantled to check that no foreign element is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it will have to be changed.

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

Unfortunately, this is a fairly frequent dysfunction. Since the engine block is off, it is still possible to shift your gears, this implies that the gearbox of the + str (XXX) + is in good condition. Once the engine block is running, it is impossible. The malfunction must come from the clutch. Often it will be necessary to change the complete clutch kit. You can still remove it and check the condition of all components. As a reminder, it is still recommended to change the clutch every 150 km.

+ str (XXX) +: no speed passes

If none of the gears pass, the engine stopped or in running condition, it's really annoying. The first thing to check is the wear and tear on the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a high probability that the latter will be out of service. To discern where the dysfunction comes from it's relatively simple. If you can push the lever in the guide of one of the speeds, but it does not take, it is the clutch which undoubtedly has a malfunction. If the lever seems to be blocked and you cannot push it, the malfunction probably comes from the gearbox. In both cases, you will most likely have to change one or more parts.
