Toyota Avensis - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Avensis MK 3, T270 - Years 2009-2018
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob in the Toyota Avensis?

Replacing the gear knob in the Toyota Avensis, as we can see in this tutorial, is an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, let's go inside the cabin, then grab the knob, rotate it forcefully counterclockwise and unscrew it from the shaft. If necessary, help yourself by wrapping the knob with a cloth and gripping it with pliers. Next, insert the replacement and screw it until it is perfectly aligned with the direction of the vehicle. If we also need to replace the boot, simply detach it from the base.

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.
