Operation: How to replace the gear knob in the Fiat 500?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the gear knob in the Fiat 500, an extremely simple and fast operation. First, let's go inside the car, then remove the cover on the old gear knob and, using a socket wrench, unscrew the single fixing bolt. Then, separate the knob itself from the lever, insert the adapter provided with the replacement, if necessary, and mount it by following the exact reverse procedure. Make sure that the reverse gear engagement mechanism spring is perfectly inserted.

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.
