I'm afraid that I can and for some reason that scares me. Some where there is
some bean counter working on the CAFE standards, saying if we lower the RPM
we'll get better gas milage.

I had the same problem on my TJ. So:
- I bought the gear with long shaft
- Pulled the shaft out of the new long shaft gear
- Took the original gear out of the t/case
- Pulled the shaft out of that gear (which is the short one)
- Carefully inserted the old shaft into the new gear
- Installed the hybrid back in the t/case

I was off by 11 percent and after this surgery, its off by less than half a
percent.

Total cost, less than twenty dollars. BTW, the long shaft one with 27 tooth
came from a Durango, but it fits a TJ (atleast the plastic gear head does
anyway). Hope that helps.
