A little problem encountered after clutch started to slip

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a jam. Recently, my clutch started slipping. After realizing that my clutch was slipping, I drove it around for three days to and from work which is about 4 miles one way. On the third day, I drove it back to Stockton where my dad would help me change the clutch. The next day we messed a bit with the clutch line and I drove it around the block and parked again. Upon trying to start it up this time, nothing happens. No clicks, no turn over. All the electrical turns on and works properly. Could the clutch be the reason why it won't start? Any suggestions, feed back would be appreciate. As of right now, it's sitting in the garage on jacks awaiting the clutch. Thanks!

Try disconnecting the switch at the clutch pedal.

This is probably it. If it starts with the bottom clutch switch unplugged, you probably bumped it and the pedal no longer presses the switch properly.

Let us know.

Actually I believe that the switch is "pushed" all the time and it gets "released" when you push the clutch

Not like it matters, just sayin
