I don't want to spend a lot to repair. any advice would be welcome

I DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
BUT...
Can you go into second or is this only into first?
Can you trun off engine, go into first, depress clutch, start the car, and go?
Are there any sensors that won't let you start the car if you are not in neutral, if the clutch or brake pedal is not depressed, etc?
I would be inclined to think electrical/elecctronic...
