BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the knob in a BMW "3 Series" E90.

In this video tutorial, we can see how it is possible to replace the gear knob in a BMW "3 Series" E90, following some simple steps that will allow you to work independently. The first thing to do is to purchase a new gear knob from an authorized car spare parts dealer. The next step is to get into the car, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake. Proceed to remove the frame, once the frame is removed, we need to pull upwards forcefully to remove the gear knob and the boot. Once removed, separate the gear knob from the boot (which we will keep); now, using a clamp or a seal, tighten the boot and then insert the new gear 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.
