Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob in a 2011 Ford Focus?

In the 2011 Ford Focus, the gear shift knob is screwed onto the lever and is therefore very easy to remove, even for those with little experience. Additionally, no tools are required. To replace it, simply rotate it counterclockwise to unscrew it. Once removed, the new knob must be screwed in by rotating it clockwise. If necessary, after removing the old knob and before inserting the new one, we can also replace the shift boot, the chrome plastic that stops its edges, and perform any other maintenance interventions deemed necessary.

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.
