Play in the steering wheel column after position adjustment

Steering Wheel Adjustment .The lever is located under the steering column, slightly to the left. To adjust the steering wheel: 1. Pull the lever down. 2. Move the steering wheel up or down into a comfortable position. 3. Pull the lever up to lock the wheel in place. Do not adjust the tilt lever while driving.

There should be a small lever, usually on the left of the steering column, under the steering wheel. If you pull or lift on the lever, it allows the steering wheel to be tilted up or down. When you release the lever or push it down, it will lock the steering wheel at that height.
Cheers.

Some Geo Prism's (and sister car Toyota Corolla) have adjustable steering columns, and some do not. The adjustment lever is on the left side of the steering column, underneath the turn signal arm. Pull this lever out...away from the steering column, and you will feel the entire column loosen for up and down positioning. To re-secure after fine tuning the desired height...push this lever firmly back into position beside the steering column. If your Prism does not have this lever...your car is not equipped with the adjustable optional column. Hope this helps.

Pull that small lever and you will be able to move the entire column up and down, stopping where you want.

The 2001 Dodge caravan has 2 heater cores - front (the main one), and the rear. Removal of the

   Instrument panel-to-chassis harness interconnect and bracket Lower silencer boot, at the base of the steering shaft
   
9. Working in the engine compartment, pinch off the heater hoses.
   
   Heater core cover. Position some towels under the heater core hoses. Heater core plate and the hoses
   
10. Depress the heater core retaining clips.
11. Lift the accelerator pedal and slide the heater core past it.
12. Depress the brake pedal and remove the heater core from the heater/air conditioning housing assembly.

    Fig. View of the front heater core assembly
    

To install:

1. Depress the brake pedal and install the heater core into the heater/air conditioning housing assembly.
2. Lift the accelerator pedal and slide the heater core past it.
3. Install or connect the following:
   
   Heater hoses (using new O-rings) and the heater core plate Heater core cover Heater hoses clamps, working in the engine compartment Lower silencer boot at the base of the steering shaft Instrument panel-to-chassis harness interconnect and bracket
   
4. Install the steering column assembly by installing or connect the following:
   
   Steering column assembly, carefully into the vehicle. 2 upper and 2 lower steering column mounting bracket nuts/washers. Torque the nuts to 105 inch lbs. (12 Nm). Steering column-to-intermediate steering shaft coupler and tighten the pinch bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm) 2 steering column shroud and the shroud-to-steering column screws Bezel, the retaining clips and the 2 instrument cluster trim bezel-to-instrument panel screws Gear selector cable and its mounting bracket as an assembly to the upper steering column mounting bracket 10 steering column cover liner and the cover liner-to-instrument panel bolts Parking brake release cable to the parking brake lever Lower left side steering column cover. Lower left side steering column cover
   
5. Refill the cooling system.
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Run the engine to normal operating temperatures; then, check the climate control operation and check for leaks.

clutch is supposed to be self adjusting. Here are instructions for replacing the adjuster:

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION


See Figure 1

1. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Remove the steering wheel using a steering wheel puller, Tool T67L-3600-A or equivalent.
3. Remove the lower dash panel section to the left of the steering column.
4. Remove the shrouds from the steering column.
5. Disconnect the brake lamp switch and the master cylinder pushrod from the brake pedal.
6. Rotate the clutch quadrant forward and unhook the clutch cable from the quadrant. Allow the quadrant to slowly swing rearward.
7. Remove the bolt holding the brake pedal support bracket lateral brace to the left side of the vehicle.
8. Disconnect all electrical connectors from the steering column.
9. Remove the 4 nuts that hold the steering column to the brake pedal support bracket and lower the steering column to the floor.
10. Remove the 4 booster nuts that hold the brake pedal support bracket to the dash panel.
11. Remove the bolt that holds the brake pedal support bracket to the underside of the instrument panel, and remove the brake pedal support bracket assembly from the vehicle.

on the left side of steering column theres a lever. it located behind the singal light lever, if you pull back on lever you should be able to tilt wheel into postion you need, good luck hope this helps.

This is a simple mechanical issue (no electronics involved).

Remove the plastic housing from around the steering column and ignition area. It is held with screws from under the column area. There are two screws from the top that you may need a short screwdriver to reach. Some are phillips and some are hex head. Just take your time it will come.

Once open you will see interlocking teeth or "gears" on the top of the column. One in mounted to the column the other engages into the tilt release teeth. This is the tilt mechanism. The top lever is lifted up by the adjusting lever. When the teeth are disengaged the wheel can be moved up and down.

Look to see the linkage is intact from the lever to the top gear. Pull the adjusting lever to see it is working and trying to lift the top gear up.

It can stick. Use WD40 if struck. Try shaking the steering wheel up and down while operating the adjusting lever (right side of column behind the turn signal lever).

Still struck? Use a screwdriver to lift the gears apart. The wheel will tilt easily now. Move to the desired position and engage the gears again. It will now be locked in the position you want.

It sounds complex but it is not. Just take your time and it will be obvious.

Note that while working you should have the negative cable removed from the battery. You do not want to trigger the air bag or damage the electronics. With the negative cable removed you will not have a problem.

You may have a loose shift linkage in the steering column. Remove the upper and lower plastic covers behind the steerong wheel (5 or 6 philips head) and see if you have any loose torx head or allen head screws. Ea
rlier models had this isue.
