I'd have thought it would be the other way around given that diesels have higher gearing than petrols.

I know the t-jet is a bit busy at motorway speeds but swapping the gearbox is going to cost you a lot of money and reduce the value of your car. Either live with it as it is, or if you spend lots of time on the motorway, sell the t-jet and buy a diesel.

Ps. The abarth has an m32 gearbox like the m-jet but with ratios suited to a petrol.

Pps. The m32 has a pretty poor reputation, the bearings can fail and it costs a lot to rectify.
