Is there a taller 5th gear or R&P for my MkVI?

From my research we have the 0A4 transmission which is very similar to the 02J. I am really considering a gear swap.

Final Drive is 3.65:1

Rev drop after shifting at redline 3,300 (in 2nd), 3,900 (in 3rd), 4,550 (in 4th), 4500 (in 5th). Governor ~4,700rpm@125 in 5th gear. 5th gear 3,000rpm@80

2012 5-speed Gearing

0.87
0.66

Final Drive is 3.39

Rev drop after shifting at redline 3,400 (in 2nd), 3,600 (in 3rd), ~4,100 (in 4th), governor ~4,900rpm@125 in 4th gear (it will take some time). 5th gear 3,000rpm@100


I will need a certain amount of mods before I can be even with a bone stock Pre-2012 5-speed manual. The only cool thing about the 2012 ratio is you will end up at 2,000rpm at 65 and 3,000rpm at about 100.

a lot of the 2011 manuals have the changed ratios not just 2012 ones

Should have updated earlier, i talked to a tech at VW and its the 02J-B but with different gear ratios, there's almost not difference between the O2J-B and OA4 so 5th gear from either one should be good.
