2001 Jetta 5th gear ratio

Kevin L 19 February 2005 18:36:05
 I'm looking into changing the 5th gear ratio on my 2001 Jetta. The
object is to slow the engine down at highway speeds as I think it revs
way to high at 65-70 mph. What is available? Has anyone done this?
Thanks

 I can't recall as my daughter drives it more than I do, she will be
around this weekend and I will drive and record mph/rpms and get back
with you. I did take a look on etka and there looks like there are 3
differnent ratios available. A 36/43, 34/45 and a 27/32 gear set

There are kits that let you add a sixth gear to your transmission.

 A sixth gear might be a viable option. Do you have any url's to point
me to more information?

 That's loafing for a VW engine.

That's not really too high.

Which engine do you have? Which transmission?
