Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you replace the BMW 1 Series gear knob?

To be able to replace the BMW 1 Series gear knob, you need to pry with an object so that you can lift the leather gaiter that surrounds the gear lever: once this has been detached, you can also detach the knob gear lever from the leather trim and consequently also from the gear lever. In doing so, the piece can be completely removed, positioning the new cap and fixing it using the special fixing clips below: in this way it will be possible to connect the new knob, fixing it to the upper part of the lever.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
