It seems ridiculous that AM sells last year's motor with the pinion gear (that we can't use) for the same price as this year's motor without the pinion gear. Why would they not also sell the 19 tooth pinion gear?

Rather than buying last year's motor and this year's motor, pressing off then pressing on there has to be a better way.
It's probably because the vast majority of teams aren't using the FP transmission and are rather using AM planetaries, or custom gearboxes which cannot use the stock gear.
