Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you replace the gear knob on the Fiat 500 Abarth?

To be able to replace the gear knob on the Fiat 500 Abarth you have to grab the knob and turn it anticlockwise, until it disengages from the upper end of the lever. Once the knob has been disengaged, it will be necessary to remove the pin inside that connects it to the leather cap. This will have to be removed after having removed the fixing clips at the base; in this way it will be possible to remove it. Once the old cap has been removed, it will be possible to insert a new one, which must be connected to the relative 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.
