Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement of the gear knob on Fiat 500 Abarth.

Also for the replacement of the gear knob on the Fiat 500 Abarth, it is advisable to place the car in a firm position, so that it is stable and safe. This is a precaution to be put into practice whenever maintenance operations are carried out on cars, in order to safeguard the operator's safety. Now, first of all, using a screwdriver, being careful not to scratch it, remove the upper part of the knob (where the gears are engraved). Inside the knob, there is a bolt that holds it attached to the shift lever. With the suitable key, we unscrew it and extract the knob. At this point, just mount the new knob which, in this case, simply insert into the lever. The assembly of the new knob may be different depending on the model you buy.

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.
