Part: Gearbox
Operation: How do you replace the automatic clutch actuator on the Sensodrive gearbox of the Citroën C3?

In order to replace the automatic clutch actuator on the Sensodrive gearbox of the Citroën C3, you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components located inside the engine compartment. Here you will be able to locate the battery, which must be removed from its housing. Once this has been properly removed and disconnected, it will be possible to locate the automatic actuator under its housing: this must be freed from the corresponding fixing screws and the appropriate connectors. In this way, a new replacement part can be inserted, also mounting the battery.

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.
