Is there anything different about fixing a 95 ford taurus sho starter?

Im working on my mom's '95 ford taurus sho and was wondering if there is anything different im supposed to do when working on this than normal? Is there something Im supposed to do with the shim?|||1)Remove battery ground to avoid shorting





2)Raise the front of vehicle so there is enough space to work underneath the front of the engine.





3)Locate the starter from the underside of the car. It is near the transmission, underneath the exhaust manifold, between the engine block and the radiator.





4)Locate the two bolts holding the starter to the engine at oposite positions 2 and 7 o'clock approximately, viewed from the left side of car. The upper bolt is actually a stud with two metric sized nuts a 13mm (deep dish socket required)and a 15mm. The lower bolt requires a metric size 13mm socket


The bolts are threaded into the starter from the transmission side of the engine


First remove the size 15mm nut on the upper bolt (2 o clock position) this will allow removal of the gound strap from the engine along with the wire harness support.





5)Loosen the bottom bolt(metric size 13mm) but do not remove completely


Using the deep size 13mm socket remove the upper bolt


Next, remove the lower bolt.The starter should still be supported in its cradle at this stage but as a precaution support it by hand while you remove the lower bolt.





6)Pry the starter loose from its mounting


Lower it between the cross member and the engine - a little maneuvering is required


When you have lowered it remove the lead(s)





There are some differences as is the case with fixing a starter in other car models.
