Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto 199, Punto EVO, Grandepunto , MK 3 - Years 2005-2018
Part: Gearbox
Operation: To adjust the gear knob of the Fiat Grande Punto.

In today's video, we will see how to adjust the gear knob of the Fiat Grande Punto. It often happens, in fact, that after several years of use, the gear knob can become imprecise and require adjustment. So, let's start by unscrewing the gear knob counterclockwise. Once we've done that, we adjust the support, using a small wrench. We try different positions until we find the correct one, and then proceed to reinsert the gear knob into its original position. Once we've done that, we can consider our work completed. As you have seen, it is a simple and quick task.

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.
