The XD Elantra's have a longer 5th from what I remember (not by much though and it's hardly noticeable) and it's pretty much a direct swap.

Probably not worth it to swap to XD transmission if searching for longer 5th. I wonder if you could order the HD 0.77 5th gear and install on your transmission. I really miss having a decent highway gear but the improvement in acceleration with the GK trans is well worth it.
I have a diy for the XD/GK transmission into RD/J2.
