Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Ford Focus gear knob replacement

Do we want to remove the gear knob of our focus? Do we want to replace the knob? Well let's see how to do it. We take the knob in our hands and rotate it to the left until it is removed from the shift rod (unscrew the knob). Disconnect the frame of the leather cap with a plastic lever (if to be changed). We hang the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel, tighten the new knob until it is completely tightened above the control rod. Finally, we test the correct assembly of the knob with the movement of the rod on the central tunnel. We mount a knob with the same thread.

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.
