Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you replace the Ford Focus gear knob?

Replacing the Ford Focus gear knob is done by grasping the knob, so that you can turn it counterclockwise. Thanks to this procedure, it will be possible to completely detach the old knob from the upper part of the gear lever, so that the new spare part can be inserted. The latter can then be positioned and can then be fixed to its housing by rotating the piece clockwise. After installation you will need to make sure that it is firmly fixed and that it does not cause problems during gear changes.

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.
