Default 95 SOHC 5-spd Jerking/Shuddering under heavy accel in low RPM (under 2000ish)

hey there hoping that either someone has had this issue, or can figure it out.
Issue popped up after my battery konked out (had to be boosted twice, refilled the battery water which fixed the battery issue, and then boosted a civic the day after). after refilling the battery i was faced with a jerking in low rpm, and a complete loss of torque... heres the full info:

Car jerks when heavily depressing the accelerator while under 2000 RPM. If I push it too much in the low rpm, I hear a clunk noise coming from the clutch/transmission area (which im attributing to a worn clutch). the issue is almost non existent when the car is cold. when cold, the car wil rev from 1000 to 4000 nice and clean. but when warmed up, i hear the engine sputtering between about 1000 and 2200 (which can also be heared when double clutching). i recently topped up the water in the battery (but over filled it, so some bubbled out), and cleaned up the leads connected to the battery. I seem to have lost all torque when accelerating even over 2000 RPM

Does it backfire under heavy acceleration? You might be time to change your spark plugs.
