Alright, well, following the critical flaw in my plan pointed out by @teotwaki (thank you again, I cannot believe I didn't think about fibers escaping) I'm gonna go ahead and try PC for the plug I'm printing for my friend's transmission, though I've also just discovered that the original is ABS, so I'll probably print one in ABS too then figure out which is better after some testing.
