My car had an accident and after repairs the Gearbox selection became a problem. Only one gear is now driving and others are not selected. My Auto electrician diagnosed the car and found out that the gear Brain box have an issue. How can i repair it.

More likely a replace rather than repair.  
By “ brain box” I guess you mean the processor that controls the transmission.  
“Gearbox” do you mean automatic transmission?

Did your insurance cover the repair? If so, did you tell them about this follow-on issue?
