Whoa! I bet that was dramatic. It's not very difficult to change the tailshaft and housing. There's probably someone who has one laying around from doing the slip yoke eliminator but if I were you, I'd go ahead and do the SYE on yours since you need a shaft and driveshaft anyway.

Yeah, just replace the extension housing and the oil seal in the end. You didn't mention the year or case, but Quadratech has it for $34.
