I wanted to buy another and contacted GM via their website (this was back in the '90s so take that for what it's worth lol) and was told that they were not going to offer a manual transmission in any new Grand Prix.

Never bought one again.

Friend had one with the 2.8 +5spd combination...guessing it was an 89'.

from what I hear I was one of the few who didn't have that problem. All I did was change the oil, replace tires/brakes etc and that's about it (the A/C compressor went at 200,000 - wasn't worth it to replace the sucker).
