I have an 03 Jetta with the 01m that I would like to get rid of. I essentially have a 5 speed transmission swap kit from the PO but I'm not sure if this is enough since I cruise at 85-90, so I'm worried about rpm's and fuel mileage. I know a 6 speed (02M?) swap kit exist but I'd have to import that from darkside into the US and it's a bit pricey. There's a 5th gear upgrade but I'm pretty sure it's only a couple hundred rpm drop so it doesn't seem worth it to me. I have heard of people adding 6th gear on to the 02J transmission, I thought it was crazy but apparently it exist. So I think those are all my options, what do the forums suggest?
