Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Fiat 500 Abarth gear knob replacement

Today we will see how to remove and replace the gear knob of a Fiat 500 Abarth. First of all we go inside the car: with a plastic lever or with something pointed we go to remove the upper cover where the gears are indicated and with a socket wrench we go to unscrew the central bolt of the knob: now we simply go to pull everything upwards in order to extract it, also removing the gearshift gaiter (which we will release from below). First we reassemble the gearshift gaiter and then we go to insert the knob, whether it is to be screwed or fixed with the bolt.

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.
