Who changed the clutch? I'll assume it was you, or else the shop would have to deal with this problem. My first guess would be that one of the wires to the solenoid is either broken, pinched or pulled from it's connector. Get out the jumper cables and a couple of test leads and outboard the circuit to the starter to see if it will turn over the engine. Then get back to us with your results.
