Operation: How to replace the gear knob on the Porsche Cayman

As a first operation you will have to lift the part of the lower panel, to do this you can use a plastic lever so as not to damage the coatings around the processing point, so now you can lift the center of the knob with a flat screwdriver, in this way by rotating the base of the knob you can release the protective cap, simply by pulling up the whole part of the cap, and separate the knob from the cap. So once you have extracted the old parts, you can proceed with the replacements you want to make, if you want you can only replace the knob or the cap.

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.
