80 Seriers Manual Trasmission Ratio question

I've got an 80 series, and i notice that the difference in ratio when driving on the raod from 4th to 5th is very little .... is there any way to change the ratio of 5th while leaving the rest? or , are later manual transmissions from say 100 series or such compatible?
