Where is the gearbox actuator located in the Smart ForTwo?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Transmission

In this video, we can see where the gearbox actuator is located in the Smart ForTwo and how to proceed in case we need to replace it, a very simple operation. As shown, the actuator is located in the lower area of the vehicle, right on the gearbox casing, and is accessible by going under the engine compartment. To remove it, we first lift the rear side of the vehicle, then locate and disconnect the indicated connector. Next, we unscrew the two fixing bolts with an E10 wrench, separate the actuator from the support, and install the replacement if necessary.
