This cars been sitting because it needs transmission work, most likely a piolet baring someone here has theorized, or csc failure. I'm changing both those along with a clutch and CSC delete, but now the car also wont start. So now even more cost added to fix it woo. Was hoping I can rule that one out since it used to turn even with the bad transmission issue.

Just because a battery shows 12 V, does not mean it can provide the CA for the starter. Specially using the car gauge.
You need to capacity test it after a full cycle of bench charging.
Or just go buy a new battery for 100 bucks.
