Yes the rear driveshaft can be removed and drive as a front wheel drive. I did it on my 2003 for a few months because a u-joint broke. Helps a bit with fuel mileage.
148k is NOTHING. Transmission will last no problem if the fluid is changed correctly and regularly. That is the most important part, not a trans flush, but have to drain and fill. If the drain plug is removed and a bunch junk comes out with the fluid run the other way as that means it was never done properly. If it comes out just fluid (even if not bright red, as long as it's still obvious its red) then it was cared for and good to go.
My 2003, 244k I think now, still original engine and transmission. Never a lick of issues, I did put a timing chain kit in for piece of mind at 200k
