I don't recall anyone posting that they locked the engine due to a TT problem. What specifically are your concerns? More details may get you better answers.

The car may not move but the engine itself wouldn't be locked up.

I would suspect the clutch before the torque tube. Either way its about the same amount of work to find out.
