Seriously ?? Do you just pull it up? Any twisting or anything?
Just pull it hard straight up, do some small twitching, but no full twisting.

It sits rather tight.

I find it easiest to put into 2nd gear and pull towards yourself, don't twist you will break the plastic piece inside and then the knob will be abel to spin freely.
