Answer
Corey,
If you had the entire clutch replaced, I'll assume the clutch lines were bled and the transmission fluid was checked.  Also, your mechanic should have inspected the clutch master cylinder.

The only electrical issue that could affect your starting would be if the clutch switch was disabled at one point.  The clutch switch is there as a safety device.  It senses if the clutch pedal is pressed in, and if it's not, the car will not start.  It's poosible you may just need your clutch pedal height adjusted.  If the tachometer bounces all over when starting your engine, it's a good idea to check your engine compression and make sure the timing is set correctly.  Have your ECU checked as well.  If your car's computer is malfunctioning, then you'll have all sorts of problems.
Good luck!
