the starter thing is a pretty easy thing to do... look under the intake mainfold and looking straight back to where the tranny bolts up to the block... you will see the starter there... all you have to do is have a friend turn the key at the same time while you tap on the starter with a hammer or something.
the clutch switch kinda hard for me to explain so hopefully someone else can post up informantion for you.

sooo it turned out to be the starter when you tapped on it with a hammer or something.... so you got a new starter... and still having problems??? you install the starter right???, have the wires hooked up back right?

then search info on the clutch pedal switch thats behind the clutch pedal...
i kinda had the same problem actually... got a new starter and car still didn't start so then i ended up checking the swtich behind the clutch pedal.

alright this is all i can tell you about the switch... your just gonna have to firgue it out while your looking at it....
If car is stick shift, check that clutch pedal is fully depressed. Check neutral safety switch behind clutch pedal (small button that prevents engine from starting when transmission is in gear). If clutch pedal doesn't fully engage neutral safety switch, engine will not crank.
or pretty much the last thing i can say is check the coil and coil plug
and here is a linky for moe help...
