Seeing as you can push start it you can pretty much narrow your problem down to the starter circuit. Does the starter solenoid click? On a 5-spd the only things between the ignition and the starter motor which would prevent the solenoid from engaging is a couple of fuses, the clutch safety switch and the starter relay. You said you checked the fuses and relay but did you check the safety switch?

If you can hear the solenoid engage you can concentrate finding out what is preventing power from getting to the motor. Could be that the contacts that shut when the solenoid engages aren't making good contact, could be a bad connection somewhere.
