Ford Focus - Video tutorial

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

How do you change the knob on a Ford Focus? Let's see the disassembly and assembly of the knob. We take the knob in our hands and rotate it to the left until it is removed from the shift rod. Using a plastic lever, disconnect the frame of the leather cap (if to be replaced). Once we have removed the knob and the protective cap of the shaft, we just have to mount the new pieces. We mount the new leather cap with the clips, then, take the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel up. We test the correct assembly of all parts mounted above the shift rod.

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.
