Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replace the gear knob on Smart Fortwo

How to remove the gear knob on Smart Fortwo? Let's see the disassembly. We take the knob in our hands and rotate it to the left and right until it is removed from the shift rod. Using a plastic lever, disconnect the screw caps on the central tunnel, unscrew the tightening screws. We remove the central tunnel and then the gear lever cover. We mount the new coating with the new knob: we screw the screws of the ventral tunnel, we cover the holes with the caps. We fix the new knob above the shift rod (connect any electric wires if the knob is with LEDs).

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.
