Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W205 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you replace the gear knob of the Mercedes C-Class?

In order to replace the gear knob of the Mercedes C-Class, you need to use an object to lever and detach the leather cover through the clips located at the base of the center console. Once the cover is completely lifted, you will need to unscrew the fixing ring located at the base of the knob. By loosening this, you can completely detach the knob and shift boot from its housing. This way, you can insert the new replacement parts, securing them with the ring and attaching the clips to the base of the center console.

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.
