Reading Darin's comments in regards to custom 5th gears in the top gear thread, I decided to investigate a bit if there was something I could find for the Elantra.

My 5th gear set is 0.776. It turns out the 5th from the trans mated to the 1.6 diesel engine in the Elantra HD, Avante HD and i30 is 0.66, a 15% drop which would be perfect. Problem is parts for this trans are not available in NA. I contacted a couple KDM import business to see if they could source the part and at what cost.
