Changing shifter knob in 2003 monte carlo SS

How difficult is it to change out the shifter knob to a different one? I bought a new one to add style and not sure how easy it is since there is a button you push in to put it in a different gear. A 44 mag shifter knob for automatic made by pilot motor sports.

    Thanks thundergod. So what your saying is I should take the Mag shifter knob back and trade it in for something that has a button on it? What brand would you recommend? Greatly appreciated for anymore advice you can give me.

    Thanks Pj

    1 more ? thundergod, is there a cable involved when removing the factory shifter knob for the 2003 Monte Carlo SS or is it just the clip and you can then add your own shifter knob without the button style? Also is there a good website that you can recommend to browse for Hurst style shifter knobs?

Just took one of those off my nephews car...usually the handle has a small clip at the front bottom that needs to be pulled out. PS threw the mag handle in the garbage (because no button, and handle kept falling off)

    The only company I have EVER used for anything at all that has to do with shifters is Hurst. I have never found something made by them that does not fit, or work! I don't know if they make anything that you might want, but personally I'd stay away from any other source.

    Just typed hurst on google and it came right up. Don't know why you don't want to keep the button though...its there for a reason.
    Personally I'd save for something to make it go fast though...for over 20 years every sunday my hand was wrapped around a Hurst "T" handle stuck to a borg warner "T10 rockcrusher" trans with Liberty gears inside. Cars just ain't fun anymore!!!

I have a 2003 monte carlo ss i fixed the intake gasket but now the car losses oil pressure i changed the oil and put in 10 w 40 new filter found out i use the wrong oil so i changed the oil to 10 w 30...

It is hard to say without being able to check the vehicle. It is possible that gasket material, silicone, etc. ended up inside the engine duing the repairs and is now stuck in your oil pump screen. It is also possible that you really do not have low oil pressure and the gauge is "lying" to you.

The way to find out is to remove the oil pressure sending unit and install a manual gauge. Take an actual pressure reading to see if the car's gauge is accurate. If it is not accurate, you most likely need a new sending unit. If you find that the oil pressure is actually low, then it is time to pull the oil pan and look inside to see what kind of damage or debris is in the oil pan.

I have a humming noise while driving my 2003 monte carlo ss

Most likely a wheel bearing, Take it for a drive, When you hear the noise move the steering wheel slightly right then left and listen for a pitch change in the whine, What ever way the pitch changes, Say you turn left and it changes? Its the left bearing and same for the right.

I want to buy an '87 Monte ss - what are common

Look for excessive frame and body mount corrosion, the condition of the transmission fluid and performance and the engine oil and performance of the engine. Pay attention to the electrical connections through out the car and fuse box. Other then that, any other issues should not be to hard to address your self. Good luck and hope the car is what your looking for in a great ride.

Can i change the front end on my 86 monte carlo ls to a ss???

I can't see it being a problem. SS was basically just an option on a platform for all Monte Carlos.Everything from an SS should bolt on or in, depending on how far you go with it. Hope this helps.
