no the issue you are having is isolated to the clutch.. if it doesnt go into gear and dies when you put it in gear with brakes the the clutch isnt disengaging.. now.. for the axle LOL that explains why you can jack up car on drivers side and you can put it in gear,, plus the open front diff, but still. if you have the pass side up and turn the wheel and the axle doesnt move... then.. idk.. only think i can think of is the splines are stripped which ive never heard of.. but the axle nut should be tight enough to turn axle some.. maybe the cv joint is gone... check and see if the outermost axle section that is in the hub spins..

if thats what you meant by the axle messed up
 
im kind of confused.. you said the knuckle? what do you mean if the axle is still splined to the hub.. which is what your wheel is bolted to then that part of the axle HAS to move.. then you have 2 cv joints in between.. either way just buy a new axle..
 
I will be buying a new one just , got my answer that the cv had nothing to do with the problem

So if the tob is bad (as i think) that still might not be the problem ..Is it a clutch or pressure plate problem ? I will have to go get a clutch alignment tool before i pull it off...Is there a way to test or check while the transmission is off

FINALLY found the problem ...Pulled the act 2600 pressure plate ...A spring drops out ..Look at the clutch its a brand new exedy clutch... I laughed my ass off
