It has been done, and there is not real benefit. There is a considerable amount of work to be done (input shaft needs to be modified and resplined for instance).

Changing the differential (a GTUs 4.33 gear ratio) is a good idea, and easier.

i just need a shorter 2nd gear for auto crossing. that sounds better because that wouldnt bump me into prepared so i might just try that.
