Pull hard enough and it will come off. There's nothing holding it on, really.

I used a pair of channel locks and a lot of twisting and pulling.

I wouldn't twist it too much, cause the grooves run up and down not in a twist. You don't want to mess it up permantly.

Lucky you. Mine comes off by itself. During the test drive, I tried to do a 4-3 downshift and my fist hit the dashboard. It was like one of those cartoons; I just stared at the **** in my hand for about a half a second before I grabbed the lever instead. Fortunately there was no traffic.
