Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to change the gear knob of the Mercedes C-Class

Today we will see how to remove and replace the Mercedes C-Class gear knob, following these simple and quick steps. First of all we get on board the car and start by disassembling and removing the gearshift gaiter, levering the sides with something thin; after which we disconnect the electrical connectors that we find below, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to disconnect the clamp located between the cap and the knob, pulling the latter upwards to remove it and replace it with the new one; then we install the new knob on the lever and on the gearshift gaiter!

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.
