Battery- pull the terminal off the battery, clean the posts, clean or replace the terminals. and follow the wires down and check the other end makin sure they're clean and tight. most of the time this is just from old, dirty, or loose terminals.

clutch- check the fluid level. chances are you're runnin way low/empty. also check the lines for any evidence of leakage so you know if you're gonna be replacing anything. if it's just low fluid (very good possibility) fill it up, bleed it and you're golden. know that if it's close to bone dry, it'll take a while to bleed, you may want to pull the clutch master off and bleed it, reinstall, then bleed the system.

* if the problem was the clutch itself, it will still start unless something is jammed (release bearing, fork..). you don't need to press the clutch to start the car so it doesn't matter if the clutch is engaging or not. i completely toasted my disk, it wouldn't grab any gear, but i was still able to start it. and i start my car before i get in.
