You can swap no problem. TC rear ends have the abs sensors near the wheels. Non TC cars have the abs sensor in the pumpkin.

Your speedo is driven by the computer that gets its input from a sensor in the transmission. You really need a rear with matching abs/tc options to have your abs work. It can be done but would be spendy

i cant plug it back in because the sensors are in different places, my stock one was in the pumpkin and the one i have now is by the wheels and i dont have the wires or connectors to hook it up. and now my speedometer is way off after i changed rear ends, so do i just take it to get it recalibrated to work properly?

you don't,it's a different system/circuit.In order for everything to work properly,a 3 channel rearend should only be replaced by another 3 channel rearend.
