Description
ACUiTY™ Premium Upper Rods are a great way to customize your ACUiTY shifter. Each upper rod features durable, rolled threads and an integral depth stop and 25mm of height adjustment range between the "Max" and "Min" markings. Two height options are available to allow you to achieve taller or lower shift knob heights than are permitted with the default upper rod that is included with each shifter*. See the supplied illustrations or bulleted list below for height comparisons. The titanium variants are available in 5 beautiful anodized finishes including 3 solid colors and 2 multi-color designs that are styled similarly to our titanium ESCO and POCO shift knobs. A stainless steel version is also available for those who prefer to retain the classic look of their ACUiTY shifter while benefitting from a taller knob position. All 11 Premium Upper Rod designs fit all shift knob height-adjustable ACUiTY shifters. Premium Upper Rods are sold individually.
Care Instructions
Oil and dirt that accumulate on the outside of this product will temporarily reduce the vibrance of the colors in its burnt finish. If you find your titanium looking a little lackluster, use a microfiber cloth and some household rubbing alcohol to wipe the outer surfaces down. This will remove oil and dirt deposited on the outer surfaces and will restore the original beauty of the finish. Avoid use when your hands are excessively rough or when you have abrasive materials on them (like sand, dirt, etc.), as this can prematurely wear down the burnt finish. Avoid use with rings or similar jewelry as it may scratch the finish. If the finish is ever damaged, ACUiTY may be able to refinish the knob at a much lower cost than replacing it; contact us for details.
*Exact height change depends on application. See bulleted list below for SKU-specific shift knob height data.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Are OEM products more expensive than aftermarket alternatives?
OEM products might have a higher upfront cost compared to aftermarket parts, but their superior quality and durability often make them a more cost-effective choice over time. Investing in OEM ensures you’re getting parts specifically designed for your vehicle, which can lead to better performance and longevity.
Can I purchase OEM parts online or do I need to visit a dealership?
You don’t need to visit a dealership to get OEM parts. You can conveniently purchase genuine OEM components from authorized distributors and reputable online retailers like Turbo Tech Performance. Our online store provides a wide selection of high-quality parts delivered straight to your door.
Are parts from brands like Mopar, ACDelco, and Motorcraft interchangeable between different vehicle brands?
No, parts from Mopar, ACDelco, and Motorcraft are typically designed for specific vehicle brands. It’s crucial to ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model by checking part numbers and consulting with a knowledgeable expert.
Can I install OEM parts myself, or is it better to have a professional handle it?
While some OEM parts can be installed by DIY enthusiasts, the complexity of installation can vary. For the best results and to ensure proper fitment and performance, we recommend having a trained mechanic install the parts, especially if you’re unfamiliar with automotive repairs.
Do OEM parts come with a warranty?
Yes, many OEM auto parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers defects or issues. Be sure to check the warranty details for each part at the time of purchase, and keep your receipt for any potential warranty claims.
