I can't remember where I read it - it may have been here - but it was about someone swapping in a different pair of gears onto the 5th gear spaces, shafts and splines were the same, but it provided a ridiculous .65 or something overdrive. Which is just ludicrous in a Metro, I don't think it's got the puff to turn a cog that tall at speed.
