HELP!!!! MAX WON't START

I have my clutch replaced, but when you turn on the ignition key, the car does not start. All the lights will come on(brakes , engine ...). There is no problem with the starter, I had it checked out by the dealer last week, and the battery is working properly because the car can be starter by using a srew driver under the hood.(using a jumper)
I need help.

Sounds like the clutch starter kill switch. You have to have the clutch pedal depressed to start the engine. Sounds like the switch isn't engaging when you press in the clutch, hence not engaging the starter.

Ryan,
I press on the buttton behing the clutch pedal, but nothing happened either. Is that just a wiring problem?

I don't have one of these cars (yet) so I'm not familiar with them, but if you manually push the button and it still doesn't start, then it could either be that that switch itself is bad, or that the wiring is bad. I would imagine that there are two wires into the switch, if so you can connect the wires and see if it starts, and if it does then it's the switch, of not then probably the wiring somewhere else.
