My engine keeps coming lose making the clutch gear separate from the transmission gears and that makes my r/c sit there whit the clutch gear spinning. Any help on what i can do?

another thing my glow plugs little coil tip was attached to the end of the glow plug and now its not, if that makes sense. will that make any problem?
 
Yup use loctite the blue kind on your motor mount screws it dosen't take much and let it dry over night, and sounds like it may be time for a new glow plug.... if you have a glow plug ignighter just take out the glow plug and place it in the end of the ignighter, if it glows nice and red you may be ok, but I would recommend picking up an extra to have on hand just in case...
 
Did you loose the coil thing while the glow plug was in the engine if so you need to get it out some how before running your car.
 
still glows like it did before.

my pull start got a little hard, and as soon as i take the glow igniter off it turns off.

so do i need a new glow plug or is it something to do whit the engine? i have a
DNA vh-a6 on-road whit a .18 cxp engine

For £3 (6$) you may aswell get a new glow plug as that is probably the problem.
