Are there threads on the inside of the gear knob? If so this may be your problem, stopping the gear knob from going down further. If there are some threads there, grind them off.

Lol, cut bits off mate.

I had a chrome/silver ball on mine, but i put it back to standard for 2 reasons:

1. On cold mornings it was freezing to touch.
2. On hot days, it burnt my hand lol, just cant win!

Mine just comes off with a little pull, easy!
