Did the TC cause the tranny failure? Who installed the TC? Do you still have the stock TC?

Luxtury Motorworks did the install, But i don't think it was the install. i had a bad flex plat and i think that what cause the tranny failure. And also i was in a car accident that damage the engine. So i think the bodyshop screwed up my tranny
