Default 04 Transmission not working after front end crash

I recently had a front end crash with my 04 TrailBlazer. There was damage to the radiator but the transmission has fluid. The transmission worked prior to the accident. Is there anything I can look for before replacing the transmission. It acts like it is low in fluid but it is not. Just noticed the right wheel is not straight as compared to the left wheel. Could any suspension problem or CV axel cause the transmission to act sluggish?

Can you give more detail on sluggish? Does it shift through gears? Malfunction codes?

Itit doesn't go through all the gears because we haven't been able to get it to drive that far. it seems that is getting a little better I'm beginning to think the problem might be because it's been setting up for a while. There are no codes

Trans has fluid doesnt mean anything. It could be full and a line to or from the cooler collapsed and that will stop fluid flow. ( or cooler inside radiator is damaged)
