Battery is dead. Maybe some. More specifics would be helpful. If it's a manual (which I'm pretty sure it's not because you don't seem smart enough to operate one) then make sure the car is in neutral gear and you have the clutch pressed down. Manual cars won't start in gear.
A slow shutting of the clutch ist somewhat normal if you jumpstart the Smart 450. But it could be improved by teach in the clutch or replacing a weared down clutch or a stucking actuator. Another possible improvement is replacement of the front motor bearing. In this case build in the stronger bearing of the diesel engine.
it sounds like the main linkage is bent under the car, being as 1st would be forward and reverse back it is most likely the same linkage doing both jobs and doing both faults. easy reaopir though cost about £100 tops. if the problem is more serious then it could be a new gearbox you need although I would be tempted to say I never had to do that job on this car but I have seen many bent gear linkages.
check your fuses. then check them again. check your air filter. if its clogged , truck wont start. fuel filter clogged up ? out of gas? battery dead. starter went out ? ignition parts went bad. too many things could be wrong. try to eliminate some of them by posting more details.
Normally if your seals start leaking it is a sign that your bearings have wear and are in need of replacing. Otherwise i would say if you get a whinning or a grinding noise when engaged you may have an issue with it or improper installation. IE the gears are too close together.
