Fiat Seicento - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Seicento MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you install the gear knob with a syringe?

In this video we see how to change the gear knob of a Fiat Seicento, installing a sporty one from "Sparco" that can be found on Amazon with the code B088MSH33H, priced at 42.05 with free delivery for Prime customers. Let's start by mentioning that at least on this car, the previous knob was removed by cutting it, and that on other cars at least part of the shaft needs to be removed using the same method. For the rest, the installation is simple: three screws are screwed onto the shaft, starting from the middle of the knob, because the lower part of the knob is self-locking. Reverse gear is engaged by pulling up the small ring.

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.
