What I've heard is a nice hard pull at the lever to get it off (watch for you chin).

If you're talking about the gearshift knob, for the manual (and I believe the auto and SMG, but don't know for sure), you pull up HARD. As someone mentioned, you will hit yourself in the chin if you're not very careful.
