Model: BMW X3 E83, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Disassembly of the gearbox of the BMW X3

Let's see in this guide the main steps that will allow us to disassemble the gearbox of the BMW X3. First of all we lift the car and start by disconnecting and removing our muffler, unscrewing the manifold screws; after which we unscrew the screws of the propeller shaft bracket, disconnecting it from the gearbox, then draining the oil. At this point we unscrew the screws of our gearbox, holding it raised with a jack; we just have to get it off the car to remove it, applying the reverse procedure for reassembly!

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.
