Hey all. Couple questions.

Looking to deal with the pesky highway rpms for a 2018 5MT.

How much work is it to access the 5th gear? And anybody know a custom machine shop (Maritimes, maybe Maine or Ontario) that might be able to make what I need?

Also how angry would the ECU be? That'll be the only deal breaker to me pursuing this.

Not much came up on searches for this, but as somebody running 40,000km a year and likely to replace with another once this dies, I'm serious about this assuming it can be done for under $1500 or so.

Lets actually get the conversation started here, unless I missed a more popular topic on the subject.

How crazy am I?
