If my google research is correct, this is a 36 tooth ratchet?
If so, then no, you can't upgrade the internals that I'm aware of.
You can upgrade the 60 tooth models because most of the 60/80/84/88 tooth Apex/Danaher ratchets have interchangeable mechanisms.

Why does that ****. You can find a good used 80 tooth ratche that will not break the bank. Besides you want a back up don't you? LOL To have a collection you need 3 of somthing. I like a finer tooth ratchet for most jobs.

I had that ratchet....and it is VERY course! I loved the handle but when I used it felt like a Craftsman RP ratchet. I tried putting in a 60 tooth Armstrong kit in it but it didn't work....the ratchet is built to different compared to the Armstrong/Matco 60 tooth. I would get an Armstrong 88 or 60 tooth ratchet to replace it. You can get them on Harry Epsteins for around $40. Worth the money for sure!
