So to me, " wont engage" means that you release the clutch and the car doesnt move.

The clutch " wont disengage" Means that you step on the clutch but you cant get it to go into gear because the clutch didnt work.

So the first one, wont engage. The clutch is worn or the pressure plate is busted. You need to pull the transmission and get into it and replace what is bad.

The second one. Could be the fluid level is low or has air in it. Try changing the fluid and bleeding the air out of it. When under the car check the metal rod that pushes on the clutch throw arm. It should be moving in and out. Occcasionally the seal breaks and fluid runs out. If not trouble shoot the issue until it does move in and out at least 25 to 30mm.

If this is good and moving in and out OK then the throw out bearing, pressure plate or clutch inside the housing is bad. You gotta pull the transmission and look inside to fix it.

It depends on the type of clutch linkage. If it's mechanical linkage the clutch could be worn and the rod dropped out. If it's a hydraulic clutch, the clutch master or slave cylinder could be worn out.
