Hmmmmm. That is strange. I'm not sure what to tell ya. Maybe it is wired up wrong or something. Someone with more knowledge will chime in soon.

If I remember there is a set screw on the right side of the shifter handle that you back off and then you can pull it up. Just be careful that you do not pull so hard that you break the wires going to the O/D button.
