Starter and transmission conspiracy?

Over the course of moving last month I unfortunately let my 89 4 door turbo sit for almost a month. Everything was working fine at about 130k before that.
I turn the ignition, and ... Nothing. Dash lights go on, but the engine won't even begin to turn over. I can't hear any clicking or whirring from the starter. Literally the only thing that happens when the key turns is lights and antenna.
Looks like i am getting voltage from the ignition switch, but the braid between the solenoid and starter is suspect. Probably the solenoid or starter, right?
Meanwhile, I go to put it in neutral to roll it back and get a better view, and ... The shifter freezes. It will go into reverse and fourth, and apparently neutral, but it won't wiggle In neutral and it won't budge if I try to put it into another gear. Did my tranny just crap out in me too??
From perfect to crap in one afternoon. Is there any hope that I just need a little grease here and a little hammer smack there? Aargh.
