Honda Accord - Video tutorial

Model: Honda Accord MK 6 - Years 1998-2002
Part: Gear oil
Operation: Complete change of gear oil

For gear engagement problems it is advisable to change the oil in the gearbox. Raise the car and secure it. Empty the oil from the gearbox by removing the relative upper and lower plugs and placing a collector underneath. Top up the gearbox with the correct amount of the specific oil. Screw the cap and check the correct oil level then do a road test with the car in order to check if the problems related to the gearbox have disappeared. Do not disperse the used oil in the environment but take it to the appropriate collection centers.

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.
