Gearbox or diff or wheel change

I have a GTI and I think that the gearing is too low as I do a lot of motorway miles and the engine has enough power/torque to sit at 3000rpm at 80mph. Is it possible to change the diff or box for higher gearing while keeping the original drive shafts and clutch? Happy for a 5 speed box if required. Any ideas??

similar sort of question but with a TDI in mind, has anyone fitted a 6 speed box from a GTI to this model or are the gear ratios all wrong

If you could do it, not easily but it's possible. You would end up with a weaker gearbox with shorter ratios I think.
