Default Engine shaking and running ROUGH

I think its a blown head gasket. Its missing very bad and it has no power at all. Whenever it shifts (AOD) the whole car shakes pretty bad and it doesnt sound smooth at all out of the exhaust. I dont know if its something as major as a blown head gasket or not but my car is running like ****. Please help me!!!

yea the coolant smells like gas but it doesnt smoke. theres no water in the oil but water is being lost somewhere. i can also feel compression like pumping from the radiator if i take the cap off and press my hand against it when its running.
