BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to remove the gear knob

Replacing the gear knob on your car is not a complex job, but something you can do on your own. The following guide shows us how. All you need is a screwdriver and lubricating grease. The new knob must be inserted into the shaft and firmly inserted and if necessary, the fixing screws and the clip to fix the cap that usually comes with the new package must be tightened. These maneuvers must be performed calmly and patiently, without forcing everything excessively. After removing the old knob, it will be enough to fix some grease on the gearbox.

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.
