I would say most likely not. For most states and most companies you usually have 30 days from date of accident to file the claim. However, you COULD file a claim and say it happened yesterday, but that's called insurance fraud.

Who is responsible if 6 months after a head by accident the transmission go out of your vehicle and the accident was not your fault?

You would be. It's what is known as coincidental damage, and it means that some part of your vehicle happened to go out just around the same time you had an accident even though the accident may havehad nothing to do with the auto part that failed. You noted 6 months, so therefore I believe your accident had nothing to do with the part failure, it just happened to fail a short time after your crash. Engines and transmissions are usually pretty sturdy when it comes to crashes because they are held in by transmission and motor mounts. Note your cars' mileage. Engines usually last about250,000 miles and transmissions last around the same amount of time, if proper care is taken for them. If your car has less than 60,000 miles OR is 5 years old or newer, take it to an auto dealer because warranty will cover something like that. Hope this helps.

Please help. If you damage a client's vehicle while taking him to work and they do not ask you to pay for the damage until two months later only after you quit do you have to pay?

Yes, you are still responsible for the damage. If you have your own auto insurance policy, it may cover this. There is a statute of limitations that applies to most accidents of this type. The owner of the car has up to two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit to make you pay for the damages.
