Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replace the gear knob of the Fiat 500

Do you want to replace the gear knob located in your Fiat 500? Let's see how to do it in this video. First we remove the plastic plate on the knob with a screwdriver, then we unscrew with a socket wrench or fix the pin of the gear knob. We remove the leather boot from the edge of the central tunnel with a plastic lever (if to be replaced). To carry out the assembly: insert the new knob and screw the locking pin with the key. Finally we block the plastic plate that marks the gears above the gear knob. We test the functioning of the new piece.

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.
