Yes, a front-end collision can potentially damage the transmission. The impact may cause misalignment of the drivetrain components, leading to issues with the transmission's internal mechanisms or connections. Additionally, damage to the engine mounts or nearby components could affect the transmission's operation. It's important to have a thorough inspection after such an incident to assess any hidden damage.
it is possible to damage the transmission in a rear end collision. this is especially possible in rear wheel drive vehicles. even in a light rear end collision with a rear wheel drive vehicle can shove the drive shaft into the transmission causing serious problems.

The force of the collision has to great enough
The bell housing is the front of the transmission, the end that bolts to the engine.The bell housing is the front of the transmission, the end that bolts to the engine.
The energy-absorbing feature that protects the driver in a front-end collision is the crumple zone. This zone is designed to deform and absorb the energy of the impact, reducing the force transferred to the vehicle's occupants. This helps to lessen the severity of injuries sustained in a collision.
you are exerting lots of forward G-forces in any collision. The alternator has extremely small tolerances in the air gaps and friction the brushes make. Jarring the car in any collision can knock any part in your engine out of whack. I've even seen a fuel pump go bad from a front end collision and its located in the trunk.
Front airbags are designed to deploy primarily in moderate to severe frontal collisions where the vehicle is in motion. If the vehicle is stationary and not moving, the sensors typically do not detect the necessary impact forces to trigger the deployment of the airbags. Therefore, in most cases, front airbags will not deploy if the vehicle is not in motion during a front-end collision.
Unless your vehicle has suffered some front end collision damage and had parts replaced, the belt diagram shhould either be on the underside of the hood, or somewhere on the sheet metal shroud that supports the radiator and/or front grille.

It could lead to it indirectly, but it won't be a direct cause.
