Still having the overheating issue and I jumped both of my fan motors to run constantly. When I started her up this morning, I had the clutch in and I was putting her in gear but before I had the clutch fully released she jumped and died. I got her running later and she kept jumping while in gear. I don't have a transmission leak and the car is running cooler than before but still hot. She'd act like the clutch never fully disengaged. Just stop and go motions like how your tires would jump if there was too much torque off of the line.
 
shouldn't run so hot with your fans running that hard, could be bad headgasket look for chocolate milk looking stuff under your oil cap after a drive, or on a cold start let it idle with the radiator cap off and watch for any air bubbles in the coolant that could be exhaust gases
