Manual trans not shifting

'95 ford aspire 5 spd. I got a junk yard trans and got it in. But now this won't shift at all.

Any advice? I'm just asking your opinions if its bad or what, cuz I gotta call the yard monday and see what we can do. Thanks for your input

Didn't you try running it through the gears before you put it in?

If yes, and all was well, then see if your linkage is binding.

Is your clutch disengaging?

No, I didn't runn it thru before install.... its was tuff w/ no linkage, ya know? But now I think a screwdriver in the link would have done the trick. Anyway, the clutch is disengaging because the car will sit w/o moving w/ the clutch down, engine running. But when I let up the clutch the car goes forward (like I said, it seems to be in like 3rd or 4th gear). Also, it doesn't want to roll easy either way.
