The idea would be to switch the whole motor with pinion attached. The 2008 and 2009 motors are the same as the ones this year with the exception of the pinion.

As Mr. Forbes posted, it is possible to get the pinion off. Teams have done this to use the FP with Banebots and AM Planetary gearboxes. Once you do get it off though I'm not sure if you could put it back onto a different motor.

EDIT: As the FP with 19 tooth pinion appears to still be available from AM I think it's time for me to head over to the Q&A and see what the GDC thinks about this mess.
