Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Clutch
Operation: Replacement shift cable on Ford Focus

Is the shift cable of the Ford Focus damaged? Let's see how it replaces. Lift the bonnet and put it in safety, then, with a socket wrench, unscrew the locking pins of the clutch cable. Let's start removing the locking pins on the sides of the clutch cable. Once the pins have been unscrewed from their seat, let's go and remove them. We remove the clutch cable to the inside of the car under the central tunnel where the gearbox is. Once the cable has been removed we can mount the new one from the engine compartment to inside the vehicle. We screw the locking pins to the sides of the cable. We correct the tension of the same. We test the operation of the gearbox.

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.
