You pull straight up, hard. Be careful you don't pop yourself in the nose.

If you can twist it, I think it is broken.

Yep.....should not be able to twist it.

What worked for me was to straddle the shifter facing the back of the car with my shoulders on the seat backs and then pulling hard on the **** towards my stomach.
