From your description of the collision, I wouldn't expect a squeak
from the tranny.
What did the impact do to the rear suspension? Something is out of
alignment? Bent U-joint(s) in driveshaft or rear suspension? Are the
2 rear wheels in proper position relative to one another? Etc, etc.
Bottom line is likely frame damage: if severe, "Yo Cah-Cah Is Gone-Gone!".
Good Luck,
Puddin'
