You'll need to break the clip that is currently holding the knob to the lever. You'll also need a new clip and a tool to crimp it on. N 100 811 01 is most likely the part number of the clamping clip.

Item no. 5 in the attached illustration - I think.

if it's a spurious gearknob you'll prob have to fix it in using grub screws and no clip may be required.
