its a circlip mate, get some circlip pliers (or some pointy nose pilers) and close the circlip in towards the shifter, should allow you to take the shifter out the hole

mine has circlips under a cap looking thing made of metal,which looks to be screwed on or something, just has marks on it like its been removed before,will try to take clips out first see how go
