NEED Tips troubleshooting (won't start-> possibly clutch?)

Hey guys,

So basically driving home. Came to a stop and as i pressed in the clutch pedal i hear a huge metal clank! Then when i go to pull off .. the car just dies, (I mean dies, not cause of fuel/spark issues, but something more mechanical...?) Possibly clutch fork issue??
When i try to start her up again, the starter just clicks and the voltage drops...I did try jump starting with no luck!

Details about CAR:

88 N/T 5 Speed (Duh!)
Recently replaced motor (400 Miles)
The flywheel was installed to spec torque settings, but the clutch was done by hand..?
6 Puck ACT Clutch
Lightweight Aluminum flywheel.

NO LOCTITE WAS USED FOR THE COUNTERWEIGHT BOLTS OR CLUTCH!! oh noes...

So basically, just wanted to know where to start my troubleshooting, and is there anyway to check things without taking the motor out again!

Thanks,

Jahan
