Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement of the gear knob on Fiat 500

With a small flat screwdriver or a small plastic wedge, pry into the slot of the top plate (the one on which the rot is engraved) and remove it. Once this is done, unscrew the 10mm bolt accessible to it. Now remove the gearshift gaiter from the base, pulling it gently by hand or using the plastic wedge again. Having managed to extract the cap, you can cut the clamp and remove the old knob. Insert the new one you selected and purchased obviously proceeding backwards, fitting the cap to the base and then mounting the knob.

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.
