The Fan Clutch (clutch fan / fluid coupling) Thread

[micah202]

.

...sorry Tim,, I read the whole thread,, interesting, but didn't answer my related questions.....

....I was very surprised to see the fan clutch engage at half heat,,
which brings up the question.... are the toyo temp gauges considered accurate?
....mine seem to usually engage the fan clutch at ~3/4 heat.


...and is there a way to test the clutches before installing?
,,,,I've recently gone through installing 2 different fan clutches,, both new,, both don't work!!
....would it work to heat the base in boiling water or on the heat element a few minutes?


​..it was good to see the difference between Hayden and Aisin in your review,, just in time to change my order!
