So, a few things come to mind as to what the problem is, but I hope maybe someone could point me in the most likely direction. That leaves electrical issues. The only thing I can think of is maybe the clutch isn't engaging but I don't know. Clutch/brake fluid flush. Only problem might be if you have other people, inexperienced, driving your car.
