Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W202 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Gear knob disassembly instructions

In order to remove the gear lever knob, no tool is required since it is simply stuck on the lever stem itself; It is therefore sufficient to unhook the ring underneath by turning it slightly and pull vigorously upwards to remove the knob; to reassemble it, simply align it with the stem of the gear lever and press it down. In this circumstance it is possible to opt for the installation of an aluminum or carbon effect knob to give the passenger compartment a more modern and captivating look, perhaps also combining other inserts.

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.
