Regardless it's not a choice. It's more of a situation where I don't have a second car so I have to take the risk.
I'm not going to save purely for a certain job I just need to save in general to even get the thing looked at.

Actually, common sense dictates that if you've got two geared shafts, and one of them is out of alignment, any shock-load through the gears will strip the teeth right off them.
Driving it for a few months will very likely in needing a new gearbox. Listen to the advice being given here... it's good advice. Fix it now while it's under $50 to fix. You've had the gearbox out, you've already learned the hard way how not to do the re-install, don't discount that experience you gained... you'll be able to put it back together yourself as long as you're patient.
