E46 lost transmission, power steering and cooling/charging UPDATE

alright guys here's the update from my previous thread. thanks for everyone's help and advice ( https://www.reddit.com/r/BmwTech/comments/aq0mr1/my_e46_lost_power_steering_cooling_alternator_and/?utm_source=reddit-android )

so the tensioner pulley grenaded in the engine and ripped the ac belt, drive belt and broke part of the fan blade apart. also ripped the transmission cooling lines apart... so I need a new fan blade, new belts and new transmission cooler lines.

lost enough transmission fluid for the car not to shift into gear I suppose.

I'm going to go ahead with the repair and was able to get employee pricing on all the parts about 600 bucks and about 300-400 in labour. lucky me...

the only thing is it's a huve gamble because we dont know if the transmission has been damaged.

any thoughts on this?

prior to this had zero issues with tranny.. I'm hoping there is just not enough fluid in the tranny for the car to go into gear and nothing else wrong with it.

again any advice is highly appreciated!
