Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replace Mercedes C-Class knob

Do we want to remove the knob of our Mercedes Calasse C? Let's see the disassembly of the damaged piece and the assembly of the new one. We disconnect the frame of the leather cap with a plastic lever. We take the knob in our hands and rotate it to the left and right until it is removed from the shift rod. We take the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel, tighten the same in the rod: we fix the cap in the central tunnel after assembling the frame. We test with the movement of the shift rod on the central tunnel. We assemble the knob of the same type and size.

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.
