Doubtful it has anything to do with the clutch.
However, it would help if you explained a little about how the car is overheating. Overheating in traffic? On the highway? Regardless? Violent overheating? What position on the gauge? How long does it take to overheat?
This info will help as well: http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/cooling.htm

I was wondering about my thermostat being stuck. Where is the needle for the temperature gauge supposed to be under normal conditions and when warmed up to normal operating temp??? Mine is low, about a quarter inch above the bottom at all times. Could the thermostat have been pulled?? Thanks and have a good weekend!
