I got hit by truck :(

My guess is the transmission is fine. A car left in gear potentially can roll....that's how you start an engine by rolling the car downhill and releasing the clutch in

My guess is the transmission is fine. A car left in gear potentially can roll....that's how you start an engine by rolling the car downhill and releasing the clutch in 2nd. Sorry about the fender bender. That's a horrible feeling.

If you're in 1st and got hit from the back (pushing the car forward) you'll be fine.

If it were in reverse and the car actually moved a bit, it could have strained it a little bit but looking at your bumper it doesn't look like you got hit that hard.
