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.
Like I said. The first chance I get a garage,money and help i'll happily do it. Not a case of disregarding advice, more a case of not having the means currently.
