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.

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.

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.

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?
