Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 454, Fourfour1 - Years 2004-2006
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to remove the gear knob of a Smart ForTwo

Before we begin, we will have to sit in the driver's seat of our Smart ForTwo. In order to be able to carry out this disassembly in complete safety, it is strongly recommended that you switch off the engine, have the parking brake activated and put the gearbox in neutral. So let's start by pulling the gear knob upwards. By doing so, we will disengage it from its gear lever. When we have completed this last step, we will have successfully completed the disassembly of the gear knob of our Smart ForTwo, and we will be free to fit the new gear knob.

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.
