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

Today's guide will show us the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the Citroen C3 gear knob. First of all, we get on board the car and start detaching the gear gaiter that we find at the base of the lever; then we disconnect the clamp that we find between the headset and the knob, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to forcefully detach the gear knob, pulling it upwards; then install the gear gaiter on the knob and then the latter on the lever, fixing it correctly with the special clamp between the gaiter and the 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.
