Operation: How to change Fiat Panda 169 transmission cruise

The cardan joint (or Cardano joint) is technically a spatial articulated quadrilateral: it allows the transmission of motion between two non-coaxial shafts, or whose extensions are incident in one point; for this characteristic it is in fact used in four-wheel drive cars to connect the gearbox to the differential and thus allow the transfer of motion; precisely the fact of working in an eccentric way causes wear of the roller cages (or needle bearings) and / or of the spider with consequent play and noise: it is also possible to buy the transmission overhaul kit in the after market, which includes a new spider and the relative seeger rings; it is advisable to have this repair carried out by qualified personnel as a trivial mistake could cause considerable damage.

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.
