Need to Check if t-5 is damaged?

I recently crashed my car and am eather going to sell it as a parts car or do a swap into a 4 banger fox. Any tips on checking if my transmission got damaged? The clutch made a spring noise twice and then got slack. I can't get my transmission into 1 or reverse. I can get it into all other gears reagardless if the clutch is ingaged or not. I havn't tried with the motor on yet. I need to dissconnect the fan first this weekend before I fire it up!

RE: Need to Check if t-5 is damaged?

i wouldn't be worried about the internals being messed up, but if you where indeed doing a 100 like you said i would be more conserened about the case. most of the time my tranny doesn't like to go into any gear with the motor off, but then again i built it that way
