ATP 106001 no longer comes with metal EGR cert sleeve

That is a lot of parts replacement at one time. Perhaps you should consider spreading it out over at least two or three sessions to minimize errors.

Are you having shifting issues or just doing the shift kit as preventative maintenance?

2000LTD, thanks for alerting us to the design change.
02LTD2.0, Thanks for letting us know about the ones on Ebay. I just ordered two.

I'm doing the radiator first, then driving it out to the garage. Then I'm doing the tensioner water pump intakes and valve covers. The trans ill probably do later since I may not have time or energy to do it all.

That sounds like a better plan.

When you do the tranny work make sure that you re-use the factory pan gasket and NOT the paper gasket that comes with the filter.

Ok I will.

Ok I will.

Is there a tightening sequence on the trans pan and what is the torque specs for those bolts for the pan

 

[02LTD2.0]

Not sure of the torque specs but it's not a lot and you would go in a cross cross pattern. I'm sure someone else will come up with the exact specifics.

I got my old stock ATP greywerks manifold today from eBay. It has the metal-cert sleeve and is what I was looking for in a manifold replacement. In the photo below the two black round holes on each manifold are different between the old and the new manifold. The old one with the metal sleeve is on the left and the new one they make now has smaller holes and no metal sleeve is on the right.

Thanks for sharing. Any ideas as to why they think this change would help?

I think those holes are for coolant passage. The large hole in the middle that used to have a metal sleeve is for the EGR chimney and apparently what used to happen is it would melt or deform in that area allowing the coolant to leak. I think maybe they are increasing the distance of the coolant from the hot EGR port and therefore may not need the metal sleeve anymore.
