Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob of our Citroen C3

Before we can start, we will have to go and sit in the driver's seat of our Citroen C3. So let's start by disengaging the gear lever frame, then disconnect the relative pins, and then remove the frame. At this point, we will have to turn the knob on the gear lever and in the meantime pulling it upwards. By doing so, we will be able to remove the knob and its frame, and detach the gear lever boot from the knob. When we have completed this step, we will have finished the disassembly. To mount the gear knob and its frame, we will have to repeat these steps in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.

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.
