sort an sweet how does the gear knob come off? is it just a case of twisting it off or is there a secure fixing under the gaitor?

To get mine off, I had to use a hacksaw to cut the bottom of the gear knob away from the square part at the top of the gaitor. Then using a hammer and chisel to strip the hard foam of the gear knob to show the plastic inner core. Back to the hacksaw to make a split in the pastic all the way down, and use the chisel to prise it back.
The problem is that it isn't screwed on, there are 2 sets of 4 plastic grips that sink into the metal gear shaft, and I couldn't find a way of getting to them.
I don't care if you have a T-5, a T-5R or an R......
......they wouldn't have existed if my Turbo hadn't forged the path!
