Re: shift knob

Probably with autocad and a dial calipers...to reverse-engineer what you have.

Then you can develop a new design to include the same functionality and "adapt" it to what's already there in the vehicle.

In all seriousness, I have no idea...are there even aftermarket shifters which are "bolt-on"?

Re: shift knob

It would help to post the year Grand Prix.

For '97-'03:

At the front of the shift knob (dash side) is a u shaped clip. You will feel the indentation. Move the shifter down to D1. Use a small flat blade screwdriver and pry the clip out and then the knob will remove.
