Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the manual gear knob on your Ford Focus

Do you want to replace the manual gear knob on your Ford Focus? Let's see how to do it in this video. First we grab the knob with our hands and rotate it to the left (as if we were taking everything apart), then, let's remove it from the shift rod. To carry out the assembly: we grab the new knob and screw it into the rod on the central tunnel (be careful not to lose the spring on the rod), then, tighten the new knob until the end of the thread of the lever. Finally, we test the correct assembly of the knob with the movement of the rod on the central tunnel.

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.
