I think that you can do a "gear swap" and get a much taller fifth gear. I have a tall fifth gear as the XFE package on my Cobalt, which is also a GM Delta-platform car.
Labor is a factor: if your car had high mileage already, perhaps 90,000 miles, the car would be due for a new clutch anyway, so the labor expense is
somewhat accounted for. There is a thread about a Saturn S-series gear swap on Ecomodder.com. I don't know if it is the same transmission as the Ion, but it is worth a look.
Is your engine a -LAP? Can you find the transmission part number??
