Oil light is no joke. A mecahnical gauge can be attached, you just unscrew the switch. Engine should be rather noisy with that low pressure.
The bad clutch would have killed your slow or parked cooling. As coolant escaped, the heat sensor poke thru the roof of the intake lost contact with liquid and truck got hotter but gauge or OBDII scanner would not have followed as quickly.

Linkage is not the problem the shifter is seized
Some of the the complaints you have are starting to add up, with still running hot , loud exhaust leak
Running crappy can't go fast sounds like you melted a cat it may have been part clogged and you got so hot it went poo poo I have seen this in other vehicles
just my 2 cents

Check engine light on?
About the sand...... your driving a heavy vehicle (nearly 2 1/2 - 3 tons loaded) with a short wheel base which concentrates that weight, on skinny tires, open diffs, highway gearing and who's motor has at best 182 ponies with street pattern lugged tires......let's be realistic. Don't knock it, learn it.
I split my expansion tank in the sand trying to compete with my brothers FJ in the same type of conditions except we where trying to climb a long hill trail. He had no problem, I did not make it half way. This was my introduction into what a Disco can and cannot do in street cloths.
I had almost the same amount of miles as you do. I had to replace all my shells after that "fun" in the sand.
Drop your oil pan, look at the pick-up screen. You've probably collected every bit of left over RTV ever used on your truck.
Don't forget, overheating effects both the oil cooler and the transmission cooler temp wise. I'm not saying this is now effecting your truck but you may want to check them. At the least change your oil filter and lets not forget to check the tranny fluid for color and amount.
Good luck.

Like I said there is a large steel crossbar/ crosspin, mine was rusted and completely seized into the aluminum case, all the lube in the world would never have moved it, had to remove shifter and beat it apart with soft hammer hope this is not you but you live in salt air environment in fla
