That would depend on if the nose or rear was hit.  I suspect that the damage to the body would be a greater consequence than the damage to the ZF.

Huh? It can take 700 HP out of a blown Cleveland but not a bump? I
wonder what that is all about?

That is what I always did until Wilkenson told me not to leave it in
gear because if it got bumped while in gear, it would break the cluster.
He said don't leave it in gear parked, don't tow it in gear.....the part
alone would be $1200 not including R & R.

You're absolutely correct. Every manual transmission driver should have
learned that at the very beginning. My Line Lock in the P is to put on
while I am pulling the garage door down or raising it , or opening the
gate. Assumed to hold good for about a minute. 
Converseky, the Line Lock on the Boss Hoss will hold for hours and never
seems to loose pressure.
