Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to repair the gear lever that may have become loose on an Opel/Vauxhall Mokka X: we see that the lever is loose and cannot engage the gears. We then open the front hood, remove the battery protection plate, disconnect the negative pole first, then the positive one, and remove the battery, as well as the control unit that is inserted vertically on the left side.

We also remove the lower battery plate; this is necessary to reach the connection wire of the gearbox with the control that goes to the gearbox itself, which we see had detached from its support. In this case, the culprit was a worn gasket: a component worth a few euros, which once replaced makes it possible to reattach the plate and make the lever work normally.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
