211 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yeah, I've got a fan clutch on my radiator fan. It's siezed for sure, if I turn the fan blades, the pully turns even under tension of the belts. So I go to the local parts store and they don't show a listing for a fan clutch for that year vehicle. They say I can bring the clutch in and they can "size match" it for me, but do I even WANT a clutch since this is obviously aftermarket if not a JY part? My car has "luke-warm" heat during freezing temps and I'm thinking it's overcooling my system. I want to know if I should go with another clutch or find something stock before I go changing to hotter T-stats. 85GL EA82 carbed auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 The non-AC cars usually got just an electric fan, with the AC cars getting a mechanical fan with a clutch. If you're not developing too much heat, just remove the mechanical fan. As long as the electric is working, you shouldn't have any problem.

Snowman Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Subarian is correct about them being on A/C equipped cars. You may also have have some trouble with your thermostat or heater core, but try removing the fan first and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 go to a better parts store. they are available. I have purchased them in the not so distant past. I also assume it makes a lot of noise at higher RPM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
