Thanks zman, you recomend any places online to get one from? I am from Canada so I love getting parts online from the states, about 25% cheaper I usually find.

Rock auto ? and using the discount code from that thread might help the shipping hurt.

thanks zman found a great clutch there for a decent price and the shipping is only $10 more to get it to canada so definitely worth it. I sometimes get parts shipped to a place in the states then I go down and pick them up since I live only 30min from the border and 45min from the place I get stuff shipped too.

If you have a heavy duty fan clutch, it will. I went from a stock fan clutch to a heavy duty one and saw the same result.

The only bad part, is when the fan is roaring like that, it feels like a loss in power, because I drive a 5 speed, and it's easier to tell when I shift and such. I drive like a g-ma, to save gas. It seems I have to get into the gas more to get up to speed. No bueno for the MPG's. And it's when the engine is still semi-cold/ getting up to temp. The fan shouldn't be spinning that fast, when it's not needed. That was why I asked about it. In other good news, just sold the wifey's car that was having issues I didn't feel like dealing with, so maybe it's time for an e-fan. Got 1500 in my wallet for a few hours now and it's already burning a hole. Wife said no to the airgap, from one thread. Said no to a S&W AR15, from another thread. Sigh....at least she knows I've been having the fan issues, so maybe I can swing the e-fan. ;-) Darn wives just dont understand....

O'reilly, napa, take your pick. They might have to order it in, but should be able to get it.
