Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob on the Citroen C3 MK1

In this guide we will see how to remove and replace the gear knob on the Citroen C3 first series, but also on most models of the Citroen and Peugeot group. First of all we get on board the car and start removing the gearshift gaiter plate, levering the sides; once released we can lift the cap and cut the strap. At this point we forcefully pull the gear knob upwards, in order to remove it from the lever; we just have to replace it with the new one, of the right type, fixing it correctly on the lever and reassembling the gearshift gaiter!

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.
