Subject: transmission rebuilt: 4 speed or 5 speed?

hi everybody,

The transmission on my 82 diesel westy need a rebuild. My motor is one from
92 golf diesel, so i have more power than the original motor. I want to know
if it's possible to put a 5 speed tranmission into my west.

i think this overdrive speed (5th) could be helpful because when i'm driving
in 4th speed (at 65mph), i can go faster but i don't want to damage my
engine with a constant high motor revolution.

thanks
