1976 240D Manual Trans Stuck in Gear ??

Out of the blue, I am driving home and the gearshifter will not allow me to change gears, more like to get out of what I believe is either 2nd or 3rd gear. Anyone have an answer on what it could be? I don't want to have to get it towed and fork over $$$ to a mechanic, but if this isn't something I can fix myself, I guess that I will have to.

1976 300D won't run after engine swap

Swapped bad engine ( timing chain failure) w/ used running engine (125k). Donor engine has been sitting for 2 yrs. Project car has been sitting for 4 yrs. Did the swap w/ mechanic friend who started engine in my absence before I could change filters, flush fuel etc. Car started and ran rough for 5 minutes then stalled. Has started and ran roughly a few more times. Now will not start. Changed filters, cleaned screen, tried to start on purge only, bled lines, replaced glow plugs w/ ones from bad engine ( they were new @ time of death). Wants to fire but won't.
