ACUITY ESCO-Ti Titanium 6 Speed Shift Knob | Burnt 1959-BRN

The ACUITY ESCO-Ti Titanium Shift Knob in Burnt Finish pairs the familiar ESCO profile with the substantial feel of 6AL4V titanium. A hand-brushed, hand-colored burnt finish fades from gold to purple to blue, while the ergonomic shape encourages consistent hand placement through every shift.

Specifications

• Part number: 1959-BRN
• Material: 6AL4V titanium
• Weight: approximately 310 g (10.9 oz)
• Dimensions: 40 mm diameter and 70 mm height
• Thread: M10x1.5

Compared with aluminum, titanium is 65% denser, has 95% lower thermal conductivity, and has 40% lower heat capacity. This provides a more weighted feel and makes the knob more forgiving in harsh temperatures without eliminating gearbox feedback.

Fitment and Shift Boot Compatibility

Will thread onto all M10x1.5 shifters. All Hondas and Acuras with manual transmissions have an M10x1.5 shifter thread.

On many Hondas and Acuras made after 2010, the shift boot clips to the underside of the shift knob; older vehicles had a shift boot that just sat near the underside of the knob, but did not mate to it. If your shift boot clips to the underside of your shift knob, check to see if it clips to a nut or to the knob itself. If the boot clips to a nut, your boot and nut should work with this knob as well. If the boot clips to the actual OEM shift knob, however, you will need additional parts to prevent the boot from sagging after installation. ACUiTY offers shift boot collars that can correct this issue: 1924-K1 (satin black anodized finish), 1924-K2 (turned stainless steel finish), 1924-K4 (satin red anodized finish), 1924-K5 (burnt titanium finish), and 1924-K6 (satin purple anodized finish), sold separately.

Similarly, if you have an older vehicle that doesn't have a shift boot that clips to the knob, you can also use the same shift boot collars (1924-K1, 1924-K2, 1924-K3, 1924-K4, and 1924-K5) to clip the boot to the knob for a more modern, clean, finished appearance. The included flange nut is not needed when using the OEM shift boot collar or one of ACUiTY's 1924 shift boot collars.

What's Included

Finish Variation

Each burnt finish is brushed and colored by hand using an anodizing process borrowed from the medical implant industry, so the exact distribution of gold, purple, and blue tones varies slightly from knob to knob.

Care

Remove surface oil and dirt with a microfiber cloth and household rubbing alcohol to restore the finish's vibrance. Avoid abrasive debris, excessively rough hands, and rings or jewelry that may scratch the finish. If the finish is ever damaged, contact us about ACUiTY refinishing availability at a much lower cost than replacing the knob.
