Chevrolet Sail - Video tutorial

Model: Chevrolet Sail MK 3 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: How to replace the gear shift boot in a Chevrolet Sail?

Using a flat object, we will release the plastic surrounding the gear shift, lift it up and remove the connectors. We grab the gear shift knob and pull it strongly upwards to detach it. Along with it, the plastic base and the gear shift cover will also come off, which we need to separate from all the other elements. These must be carefully preserved because they are necessary to reassemble the gear shift. We take the new cover and reconnect the various parts using suitable glue for the type of material. Finally, we reposition the knob on top of the lever, reconnect the connectors, and reattach the plastic base in its place.

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.
