What is the CEL code?
Plenty of things can trigger the ABS light, but to paint a better picture I would need to know what exactly swapped from the tranny out to the wheels?

funny...last time I did a tranny swap I had a professional shop do the job and everything went perfectly 
There was a CEL but the co-owner of the shop that was doing the swap stayed until 8:00 at night to figure it out.

put your WRX VSS and starter in. It's what is getting done to the RS.

Chances are that since you have a 02-03 and aren't using the 02-03 VSS, the voltage is wrong. Or the resistance.
Throwing time/money at it, when you have some other codes running... might not solve the issue, kill the codes and the issue might go away.
Nasoic and RS25 had some threads on this from people and their conversions.
