One thing you'll probably want from RF is one of their
.64 ratio 5th gear assemblies for the 016.
This drops the rpm in 5th to allow comfortable highway speed. Hershal says they're making a new batch and quoted
$ 500.

Another possible 016 option is to buy a complete new rebuilt 016 from German Transaxle of America with a new 3.37 Porsche ring/pinion. This increases the usable rpm
range in all 5 gears. GTA will announce price/availability
of these boxes in about a month.
