2001 Jetta 5th gear ratio

I'm looking into changing the 5th gear ratio on my 2001 Jetta. The
object is to slow the engine down at highway speeds as I think it revs
way to high at 65-70 mph. What is available? Has anyone done this?
Thanks

What are the current revs?

I can't recall as my daughter drives it more than I do, she will be
around this weekend and I will drive and record mph/rpms and get back
with you. I did take a look on etka and there looks like there are 3
differnent ratios available. A 36/43, 34/45 and a 27/32 gear set

A sixth gear might be a viable option. Do you have any url's to point
me to more information?

about 3100rpm @ 65mph

That's loafing for a VW engine.

That's not really too high.

Which engine do you have? Which transmission?
