Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 4 - Years 2018-2024
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How do I replace the Ford Focus gear knob?

In order to replace the Ford Focus knob it is necessary to remove the old knob. To do this, you have to grab it with one hand and turn it counterclockwise on itself to unscrew the thread inside the knob itself. When unscrewing, pay attention to the spring which is wedged between the inside of the knob and the gear lever. Once the old knob has been extracted, the spring must be pushed down and the new knob mounted. To do this, simply screw it clockwise.

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.
