sounds like your battery is dead, and doesn't have the juice to turn the starter/car over.

If you have access to a multi-meter, check the battery voltage at the battery while someone is trying to start the car. If it drops down to 10V or lower, your battery is the problem.

If you don't have access to a multi-meter, jump the car with jumper cables and another car and see if it will start. I'm betting that it will.

well i got it started this morning but there was a bad rattle coming from under the engine area so i killed the motor and had it towed back up to the dealership gonna have them check the starter on monday. Since it was removed for install of clutch im thinking that might be the problem.

sounds like your starter isn't engaging the teeth of the flywheel properly.

Well feeling a little salty but whatever. The reason it wouldnt start is my friend didnt tighten battery cables. suicide But the noise i mentiond just happend to be the output shaft bearing in the tranny going so it will be in the shop again getting that fixed so far this warranty thing has worked out and i really cannot complain to much. For now
