Just now got this reply from one of the Teraflex retailers:

So whats so different about TJ that nobody seems to be making this gear? I
can get the 28-tooth gear from the dealer, but that doesn't solve my
problem of speedo accuracy.

Thanks.

The new gear will be smaller in diameter, so you'll need to clock
the off center housing: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm to
meet the worm gear.

Before I spent money and time on a new gear, I would take a GPS unit and
verify my 'real' speed.

I went one size over the factory largest tire on my Cherokee and my
speedometer 'then' became exactly right on.

When I put 33's on my CJ7, the speedometer became correct, so things
vary...

Bill, thanks for that. It does say that I can buy the long shaft 27-tooth
one and then pull the short shaft out of my existing one and transplant it
on the new one to make it a 27-tooth short shaft one. The only thing is
that this was the only site where it suggests a 26-tooth gear for 32 inch
tyres. Everybody else suggests a 27-tooth gear for both 31 and 32 inch
tyres.
