But on my way back I observed the coolant overheat again and cross the 120°C mark into the red zone. After a couple stops I was able to reach home. I gave the car some rest for around 4-5 hours and decided to take a small drive hoping that the overheating fixed itself.
Can a leak in a radiator cause an engine to overheat?
A radiator leak is very common and will cause a drop in coolant and engine overheating. Most leaks start small and if you do the proper maintenance on your vehicle you should be able to spot potential weak spots before they get too bad. At times, a radiator will just pop and you will lose all your coolant in a matter of seconds.
Can a throw out bearing cause a car to overheat?
I’ve never come across a throw out bearing in a manual transmission being the source cause of a highway speed overheat condition and normal operational temps in stop and go traffic.

What should I do if my car overheats?
Aluminum engines usually don’t do too well once overheated. Might start budgeting for a new engine. I had this exact problem. Take out your thermostat. Hook back up hoses. Fill system with water. Turn on vehicle. Look with the radiator cap off into the radiator. If you see the water flowing then your water pump is fine.
