A2 Jetta overdrive swap

I am interested in swapping the overdrive(5th) gear in my tranny for a
..75(.80) overdrive gear.

I have done a little reading, and from what I can determine the diesel
tranny has this gear in it.

What all do I need to successfully accomplish this? Obviously the new
gear(s), a new cover gasket.

What else? Would like to have a complete list when I start looking for
parts.

thanks

I asked the same question on vwvortex.com a while back. doesn't look
impossible but does look like it involves some degree of courage and
patience:
