Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement gear knob and gearshift gaiter

Who as a young man has never customized their car? Here is a nice accessory that is easy to install. Get the kit and proceed as follows: with a flat blade screwdriver pry between the plastic of the knob and the support until the cover is removed. Unscrew the nut that binds the knob to the shift rod with a wrench. Gently remove the knob and take off the boot covering the gear lever. Collect the sealing spring at the base of the old boot and insert it on the new one. Refit the boot on the support and tie the end to the gear lever. Fit the new knob which will be fixed to the gear lever using an Allen key and a threaded dowel.

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.
