Don't think mine was standard and I had to unscrew a bit at the bottom then undo some grub screws before unscrewing the gear knob.

Never know somebody else searching might find this useful.

Well I can usually get mine off with a good hard twist, but only if I wrap both hands around it very tightly and squeeze. :shock:
