[urq] re-quattro-ing a quattro - ALSO

[Jon Archibald]

Looks great, thanks Martin!

ALSO - the short 5th gear on my 4.11 4kq gearbox drives me mad. Having
the first 4 gears close together is great for the occasional angry
blast-off, however I would LOVE a tall cruising gear for road trips.
I'm pretty ignorant with regard to transmissions - anyone have any
idea whether it would be feasible to swap in a taller 5th to a 4kq
gearbox? I'm kind of shuddering at the idea of r&r'ing that tranny
again, but I think it would pay off long term...
