I need engine help

You mentioned the coolant, what about the oil level? If it was low too, you may have done some serious damage to the internals. Having low coolant and/or oil should not have affected the clutch, so I would worry more about the engine at this point.

How many miles are on the car, and are there any major mods to it? Maybe someone else can chime in as well...

Keep us posted as to what you uncover.

So the oil level was fine thats the weird part to it, and i dont ******** when it comes to oil, i have royal purple in it.and just hit 3000.miles sense my last change, the car has 75k miles, the reason why i think it might be the clutch is because when i run the car a decent amount the clutch goes completely soft and sometimes feels like it rattles, but the car engage's and gets into gear just fine

I just double checked it and had 1 quart of oil in it 😬 if it makes it any better it was royal purple, but to burn through 5 quarts in 1000-2000 miles?
