Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob of a Fiat 500.

If the gear knob of your Fiat 500 shows excessive signs of use and you want to replace it with a new one, all you have to do is follow these quick and easy steps. First, go inside the car and make sure you have activated the handbrake. Then, use a flathead screwdriver to remove the top part of the knob. Next, using a special wrench, unscrew the remaining part of the knob until it is completely disassembled. Finally, all you have to do is mount the new knob by screwing it clockwise. Personally test the correctness of the assembly with a few test shifts and you're done.

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.
