Operation: How do you replace the gear shift cable of the Fiat Punto Evo?

In order to replace the gear cable of the Fiat Punto Evo, you need to remove the gear knob and also the covering around the lever: this way you will be able to access its underlying components. Here you will be able to locate the end of the gear cable, which must be detached from the lever by loosening the bolt; the other end of the cable will be accessible from the bottom of the vehicle and once loosened it will be possible to remove the cable. The new one can now be inserted, making sure that everything works correctly.

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.
