Default NEED HELP! Dropped the oil in my manual transmission now it won't move once in gear

I was driving my 1990 Accord 4 door with a manual 5 speed attached to a f22a1 and heard something hit the road then undercarriage sounded like a bolt. Down the road when I could I pulled over and check the under side of the car. Notice exhaust was smoking from what looked like oil when I pulled out all gears worked for about a quarter mile then that was it no more transmission to tire action. I pulled over down the road and popped the hood notice in the back by the firewall was leaking a lot of oil. It dropped whatever and was still driving fine whatever fell out let the oil leak and in doing so the transmission stopped engaging this is a 5 speed manual attached to a f22a1 I'm guessing stock tranny. The transmission didn't grind it acted like it smoked the clutch but no clutch smell. Is transmission toast? Thank you in advance

Might be toast if you kept driving it with no oil. Won't know until you fix the leak and refill it.

Update I try starting it and put it in gear and it moved both forward and backwards. There must be a solenoid that out it in limp mode or something it was loosing a lot of oil and would not drive in any gear yesterday. Any advice info would be greatly appreciated thank you.

The manual transmissions are strictly mechanical. No solenoids to speak of.

I already gave you all the advice you need. Get under it, find the leak, fix it, and fill it back up with fluid.

So the jack shaft to motor mount broke causing the shaft to back out and take the seal from transmission with it. Going to find a new one replace the seal and go from there. Thanks for the help.
