Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to remove the automatic gear knob of the Alfa Romeo 159

In today's video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the automatic gear knob of the Alfa Romeo 159, following these simple steps. First we get on board the car and start by unhooking the gearshift gaiter from the knob itself; then we go to pull our gear knob with force upwards, until it is completely removed, as shown in the video. At this point we replace the knob with the new one, of the right type, inserting it correctly on the gear lever (trying not to create any play between the lever and the knob); then let's fix the cap to the knob!

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
