Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to replace the gear knob on a Ford Escape (or Kuga) III; the video refers to an automatic car, but the operation is also valid for a manual gearbox: obviously, there will be no electrical connections for the latter. We remove the frame that holds the gear lever boot, disconnect the lighting connector for the gear positions, and then disconnect the gear connector.

We lift up the boot and see the two Philips screws that need to be carefully removed, as they are very short. Now we can remove the boot and knob.

We detach the boot from the knob shaft by releasing the two spring-loaded tabs. We can find the new knob, for example, on Fruugo with the code 325755997-721139642 at a price of 38.95 euros + 14.49 euros for shipping.

Now we put everything back together, reattaching the lever with the boot, then reattaching the two Philips screws with the shaft and reconnecting the connectors. We put the frame back in place and the job is done.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
