Anna,
difficulty shifting gears can be the result of any of several factors which are external to the gearbox. One or more broken motor mounts come right to mind in the event of a collision, and a mount may have waited to shear until they pulled the chassis straight. The spatial relationship between the shift lever housing and the transaxle is important too and might have been altered during the wreck or during the straightening. That metal shift lever housing is bolted to the floor beneath the plastic housing. There is a control rod from the shift housing which connects to a shift selector rod from the transaxle by means of a rubber coupling. If either rod or the rubber housing is damaged then shifting could be very difficult. Unless there is evident damage to the transaxle it is kind of unlikely that there is internal damage to it. Those are the things to check first. Cheers
