Standard Shift Problems

Hey guys, can someone help me out. I have a 2000 mitsubishi mirage. It is standard shift. When I try to move it, it feels like it wants to go forward, but when you try to go it doesn't move and then cuts off. Any ideas on what is the cause? I just bought it, it was in an accident, but it was able to move before I had it shipped. Thanks for the help...

Move what? The Shifter? Are you depressing the clutch?

Thanks for the reply, yes I am depressing the clutch, the car feels like it wants to move forward but it doesnt, it just cuts off. There is nothing wrong with the shift though...
