Nope, you can have someone just stick new gears in the pumpkin.
The gears will probably run you somewhere around $200, and the labor
probably $200-300. You can even have the dealer do it for you, in
which case the work will have a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty.
That's assuming you have a 4x2 of course. If you have a 4x4,
double the cost...
