Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W205 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement of the gear knob in the Mercedes W204.

Also for this operation to replace the gear lever knob in the Mercedes W204, it is necessary to take all possible precautions, necessary to safeguard the operator's safety. It should therefore be the norm, whenever it is necessary to carry out a maintenance operation on any car, to arrange it, well immobilized, on a plane or on the deck, in a stable and safe way that allows us to work on it, quietly. At this point, using our fingers, we remove the joint, at the base, of the leather covering the gear lever. We lift the leather upwards, so as to see the lower part of the knob joint. At the base, there is an element that we rotate, counterclockwise, and lower. Now, just grab the knob with 2 hands and pull up to finish the disassembly. We take the new knob and assemble it by carrying out the operations described in reverse.

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.
