Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement knob and gearshift gaiter on Fiat 500

With a small flat screwdriver or any pointed tool, lift the round top of the knob, on which the gears are drawn. Unscrew the 10 mm bolt at this uncovered point. Once this is done, you can now disassemble all the various upper pieces of the knob. Pull the shift boot out again using a pointed tool (such as a plastic wedge) to lift it off the base, and remove it completely. Once you have arrived here, unscrew the gear lever in case you want to replace it, otherwise proceed backwards to assemble the new gaiter and gear knob, reassembling everything.

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.
