If you expect to use 1st a lot then you may want to remove the need to push down to clear the lockout. If you go with the 4.13 then more 1st use is probably where you will be. Don has the odd early diesel 5 speed gearing, with his 5th about the same as an ordinary 4spd wbx 4th gear. His 1st is much lower than the wbx 1st so he seldom needs it and uses 2nd instead. That early 5 speed was meant for the 48hp early 1.6 diesel engine. Your proposal to combine the tallest 5th option with the tallest r&p option means you should expect to have to drop down a gear more often so you may want to move 4th taller as well so the jump isn't so great between 4th and 5th.
