Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Fiat 500, Abarth 595 gear knob and gearshift gaiter replacement

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the knob and the gearshift gaiter of a Fiat 500 and also of an Abarth 595. Then we go inside the car and first remove the upper cover of the knob: underneath we will find a bolt to be unscrewed with socket wrench. Then we pry up the sides of the cap in order to remove all the cap together with the frame. Now let's remove the knob from the cap: remove the clamp that is attached to the knob by cutting it, so that it can be extracted. At this point we can replace and reassemble everything, as shown in the video!

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.
