Uh no. It should never move or spin like that. Knob should stay stationary and your hand actually moves on the knob itself. Hence, 1-2 "fwd part of the knob" 2-3 "rear part of the knob " Some guys like a pistol grip type shifter too.
Should never lift straight up either.
What type of shifter do you have?
