No this will not work on 2000 to 2007 Monte's as our shifters shaft are not threaded..

I agree, this "universal" shifter would not work for our cars. Not to mention, I am not sure how it works for an automatic car to begin with (no space for a button, I see custom work required on that).

Try getting one out of a different car you may like. I took my leather shift **** out of a grand prix. Here is a picture of what it looks like.

There is a adapter you can buy so you can use it with a automatic trans.
