If the vehicle will not crank, test the starter first. Since the clutch was replaced not too long ago I would take a good look at the wiring too, it may be loose.

Check the big ground cable coming off the transaxle to the body of the car. Check to see if battery voltage is there at the big wire on the starter. When you crank the vehicle, the small wire (connector) should now get voltage. If the circuit passes, remove the starter and test it/replace it.
