1998 jeep wrangler 4 cyl...battery is good just replaced alternator couple months ago..This past week try to start and nothing first couple times then starts. Made clicking noise now wont start at all. Totally dead...tried jumping still wont start...
The starter is most likely the problem,tap on the starter lightly with a hammer while trying to start the engine,dont get run over doing this it will take two people,if the engine starts,the starter needs replacing.

check the voltage on the battery with a volt meter, it should be around 12.6 to 13 volts, if not charge battery with a charger, after charge try to start vehicle, if the vehicle starts use your volt meter at the battery again, the voltage should be around 14 to 14.5 any lower and the battery isn't being charged and the alternator should be checked and or replaced to solve the problem..
Sounds like a faulty / intermittent Earth connection. Check all the battery and earth leads where they connect to the Battery, Engine, Starter Motor and Body. If possible disconnect, clean thoroughly by removing any corrosion or paint that could cause a poor connection, and reconnect making sure all are tight.
quite possibly it may be taking a little while to build fuel pressure. next time try cycling the key on and off 3 or 4 times with out cranking the vehicle to allow the pump to build pressure the try to star it up if it starts right up then your problem is it's just taking time to build pressure
First, check battery voltage. It should be 12V Or, if really cold, high 11's (11.8, 11.9) but absolutely no lower. If you can't read voltage, charge it up. (with a battery charger, not another car) Check interior light to make sure you didn't leave it on and also the glove box (most often overlooked item... if not closed all the way, light stays on). Once charged, you can check other items in order to verify everything is OK. Good luck
Your clutch is not disengaging. If it a hydrolic clutch chk. the fluid in resavor, Or slave cyl. for the clutch is bad, Or it has got air in it and needs to be bleed. This is a clutch problem, nothing wrong with trans. If its a manual clutch linkage its an ajustment thing. My best guess if its hydrolic slave cyl. went bad, or resavor is out of fluid.
It maybe as simple as corroded battery terminals. Somtimes they corrode between the post and the terminal itself.When you run light loads there is enough current passing through.When you crank the engine however,the large current flow will not pass. When you jump the car the clamps are biting on the outside of the terminal and current flows easy. Simply clean or replace the terminals and clean the posts as well to a silver shine and the trouble may go away
