Today I started up may car. Put the clutch in then put it into first then it made a clunk and the car shut off . Then I started it back up and there was no problem. Any ideas?my car is a 2.2 5 speed. 160000 km. if it was my clutch would the car clunk and shut off like that?

if it goes backwards ok, then i doubt engine issue.

it sounds like a trans issue. you need someone to check this to confirm.

have you tried starting in second gear??
