Clutch and steering are the two mechanical systems that the driver controls. One nevertheless has the habit of getting damaged faster than the other: it is the clutch system of course. Obviously with the gearbox, which goes with it. Rather frequently, gearshift malfunctions occur on the + str (XXX) +. And even if the clutch is frequently involved, it sometimes happens that we are surprised at the reason for the malfunctions. In addition, it avoids at times having to change the whole kit. These are the gearshift malfunctions the most regular.
+ 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. In this case, the clutch is in poor condition. However, this is not inevitably linked to the whole of the 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. You can drop it to check that nothing outside is blocking it. If the latter is damaged, it must be replaced.
Unable to shift gear once the + str (XXX) + engine is running
Unfortunately, this is a fairly recurring problem. Since the engine is off it is 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 necessary to change the entire clutch kit. You can try to disassemble it and check the condition of all the parts. For information, it is recommended 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 unpleasant. One thing to check is the wear and tear on the gearbox of your + str (XXX) +. There may be a high probability that it will be out of service. To discern where the problem comes from it's quite simple. If you can put the lever in the guide of a speed, but the speed does not take, it is the clutch which probably presents a problem. If the lever seems to be blocked and you cannot push it, the problem probably comes from the gearbox. For both, it will most certainly change one or more rooms.
