1993 FORD SIERRA steering wheel adjustment

1Reverse the procedure described in
paragraphs 1 to 40, Section 5, noting the
following points.
2Before attempting to refit the engine, check
that the clutch friction disc is centralised.
3Check that the clutch release arm and
bearing are correctly fitted, and lightly grease
the input shaft splines.
4Check that the engine adapter plate is
correctly positioned on its locating dowels. If
necessary, a cable-tie can be used to
temporarily secure the adapter plate in
position on the cylinder block using one of the
engine-to-gearbox bolt holes.
5If shims were fitted between the sump and
the gearbox, refit them in their original
locations when mating the engine to the
gearbox. If the engine has been overhauled,
where applicable fit the relevant shims as
calculated during engine reassembly.
6Reconnect the clutch cable to the release
arm, ensuring that it is routed as noted during
removal.
7Ensure that the roadwheels and the
steering wheel are in the straight-ahead
position before reconnecting the lower
steering column to the intermediate shaft, and
tighten the clamp bolt to the specified torque.
8Fill the engine with the correct grade and
quantity of oil.
9Check the throttle cable adjustment.
10Fill the cooling system.
11Tighten all fixings to the specified torque,
where applicable.
1Reverse the procedure in paragraphs 1 to
10 of Section 6, noting the following points.
2Check that the engine adapter plate is
correctly positioned on its locating dowels. If
necessary, a cable-tie can be used to
temporarily secure the adapter plate in
position on the cylinder block, using one of
the engine-to-transmission bolt holes.
3As the torque converter is only loosely
engaged in the transmission, care must be
taken to prevent the torque converter from
falling out forwards. When the torque
converter hub is fully engaged with the fluid
pump drivegear in the transmission, distance
“A” in illustration 2.24 of Chapter 7B must be
as specified. Incorrect installation of the
torque converter will result in damage to the
transmission.
4If shims were fitted between the sump and
the transmission, refit them in their original
locations when mating the engine to the
transmission. If the engine has been
overhauled, where applicable fit the relevant
shims as calculated during engine
reassembly.5As the engine is installed, guide the torque
converter studs through the holes in the
driveplate. When the engine is positioned
flush with the engine adapter plate and the
transmission housing, check that the torque
converter is free to move axially a small
amount before refitting and tightening the
engine-to-transmission bolts.
6Do not tighten the torque converter-to-
driveplate nuts until the lower engine-to-
transmission bolts have been fitted and
tightened.
7Ensure that the roadwheels and the
steering wheel are in the straight-ahead
position before reconnecting the lower
steering column to the intermediate shaft.
8Fill the engine with the correct grade and
quantity of oil.
9Check the throttle cable adjustment.
10Fill the cooling system.
11Tighten all fixings to the specified torque,
where applicable.
1Reverse the procedure described in
paragraphs 1 to 33 of Section 7, noting the
following points.
2Before attempting to reconnect the engine
to the gearbox, check that the clutch friction
disc is centralised.
3Check that the clutch release arm and
bearing are correctly fitted, and lightly grease
the input shaft splines.
4Check that the engine adapter plate is
correctly positioned on its locating dowels. If
necessary, a cable-tie can be used to
temporarily secure the adapter plate in

7Reconnect the clutch cable to the release
arm, ensuring that it is routed as noted during
removal.
8Fill the engine with the correct grade and
quantity of oil.
9Check the throttle cable adjustment.
10Fill the cooling system.
11Check and if necessary top-up the
gearbox oil level.
12Tighten all fixings to the specified torque,
where applicable.1Reverse the procedure described in
paragraphs 1 to 25 of Section 8, noting the
following points.
2Check that the engine adapter plate is
correctly positioned on its locating dowels. If
necessary, a cable-tie can be used to
temporarily secure the adapter plate in
position on the cylinder block, using one of
the engine-to-transmission bolt holes.

5As the engine and transmission are mated
together, guide the torque converter studs
through the holes in the driveplate. When the
engine is positioned flush with the engine
adapter plate and the transmission housing,
check that the torque converter is free to
move axially a small amount before refitting
and tightening the engine-to-transmission

8Reconnect the selector rod and check for
correct adjustment.
9Fill the engine with the correct grade and
quantity of oil.
10Check the throttle cable adjustment.
11Fill the cooling system.
12Check and if necessary top-up the
transmission fluid level.
13Tighten all fixings to the specified torque,
where applicable.
Proceed as described in Chapter 2, Part C,
but note that on certain models it may be
necessary to unbolt the engine mounting
brackets from the cylinder block to allow
sufficient clearance to remove the mountings.
