BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement gear knob BMW Serie 3 E90

In this video tutorial we will see the instructions on how to disassemble and replace the gear knob in a BMW 3 Series E90, in simple steps. First we get on board the car and go to remove the gearshift gaiter, unhooking it from the sides with something thin; then we pull up our knob and applying force we go to extract it. At this point, let's replace it with the new one, of the right type, and first insert the gearshift gaiter and then put the knob on, fixing it well and correctly so that it does not move during use.

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.
