1st answer...what sway are you talking about...and it is very hard to control the wind but I'll see what I can do...2nd...I don't think I've ever heard of a clutch fan going "out" I've heard that the fan goes bad because it gets beat and chipped and basically falls apart because its old if thats what you mean...in any case a clutch fan isn't that expensive...3rd...use the search function there was just a massive write up on the whole install of the e-fan...I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who has said that e-fans are bad in fact I only ever hear raving reviews... heres one link to that e-fan post...now your on your own I know you've probably heard this before but there is truth behind the search forum option...

Some electric fans pull alot of amps; I suspect 15 - 20 amps for a Black Magic (2,800 CFM) fan.

1st: wider, stickier rubber
2nd: if it slips too much or too little, then it's bad...just buy an e-fan if you're having cooling issues and suspect the fan (fyi: fan clutches are NOT cheap).
