Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob and gaiter of the Fiat 500.

Today's guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the gear knob and gear lever gaiter of the Fiat 500. First, let's get inside the cabin and start by removing the gear knob by unscrewing the central screw found on it. Once removed, we can detach and remove the gaiter at the base, as shown in the video. At this point, we replace the gaiter first and then the gear knob, securely fastening everything. Once the gear knob is manually screwed in, we can secure it with the central screw, making sure there is no play between the lever and the 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.
