I messed my transmission install up the first time I did it just like you. Then I pulled it again (wish I hadn't have waited so long to do it) and fixed it all myself, taking care to put it back together properly. My transmission is VERY noisy now - I run Redline Heavyweight Shockproof to quiet it down. I did drive it for a long time but thats because I didn't know exactly what was wrong with it and figured it was shifter forks and a bunch of other things that would make it too expensive to fix - at the time (before I learned what it was) I was saving for a new transmission or an sti tranny and I was just going to scrap the one that was in my car.
I could help you to ensure that you don't make the same mistake when putting it back together if you'd like.
