welp it was non of the above, i kinda feel liek a moron now

i fixed trhe rear of my car last weekend, so i moved to the front end, well as i jacked the car up guess what fell into plane view....the axle

the axle seperated at the inner boot, w hat happend was when the chick hit my front tire it caised the front subframe to bend toward the pass seat, withthe extra travle the cvu seperated and the boot tore causeing the axle to come apart and causingme to be able to go into every gear and such without the clutch and without grinding.....i put in a new axle and she is smooth as butters goes through every gear....
