Well if you have gear box with close ratio then it'll be screaming in fifth on motorway. So thats probably what your experiencing. Uk have long gears especially fifth gear.

You'll find that your gearbox you have now will be quick through the gears as they are short.

If you want to sort problem, try and find a fifth gear from a uk, job done.

Hope that helps mate.
