Also OP, did you swap out fifth for the Toyota echo fifth? I heard someone on this forum talking about it a while back and said it would reduce rpms a lot. Can't remember who though.

The Echo is 1NZ powered, so I don't think it has a taller 5th. It has a taller final drive according to Wikipedia, but the Wiki page has gotten the ratios wrong for several of them. Supposedly 1ZZ Corollas had the tall 5th even though Wikipedia doesn't say so.
I just messaged a friend with a 5MT 2000 Corolla asking for the rpm in 5th gear that should clear it up when he responds.
