Sounds like something that happened to me before. Try cleaning the leads to the starter. Mines had a little corrosion and that was enough to not allow the engine to crank but i would hear the click. You'll need to jack up the car to do this.

Probably should put the tranny in neutral and manually push in the clutch switch to eliminate that.
