Mercedes Classe E - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe E W210 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Transmission
Operation: Transmission support replacement instructions

The failure of the transmission support bearing is a fairly recurring defect but at the same time easily repairable and also in an overall economic way; then lift the car on a lift and, even before proceeding with the disassembly of the support, mark the alignment between the two transmission shafts; then disassemble the support and separate the two shafts; use an extractor to remove the portion of bearing still inserted on the shaft and apply the new support and then proceed backwards for reassembly, taking care to maintain the previously marked alignment.

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.
