Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the knob on Mercedes C-Class

Replacing the damaged gear knob on a Mercedes C-Class, let's see how to disassemble it. We disconnect the leather boot from the central tunnel, lift it and unscrew the tightening screw under the knob. We detach the knob from the shift rod. To carry out the assembly, take the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel (together with the cap). We mount the leather cap above the rod and screw the knob screw. We cover the new leather bonnet above the rod until we reach the central tunnel. We block the frame above the central tunnel. We verify the correct assembly.

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.
