55 buck?!?!?!, I say look around also put an add in the for sale/wanted section. If I had a fan clutch I'd give it to you for price of shipping*** hopfully someone else will too.

Those guys with electric fans always have troubles with thermostats, etc., and they spend about $200. The standard fan clutch is OK:I have 4 rotaries with no problems. But $55 is awful high. Try a different JY or haggle the guy down to $15-$20. Or keep talking it up here and someone will prolly send you one for the $15 shipping.
If you want to try an electric fan and can get one cheap at the JY, the Fiero, Taurus and Escort fans have all been touted here.

ford taurus fan 10 bucks there are always like 10+ taurus's in JY so it should be cheaper than the 2-3 7's in the JY and just wire it up to a toggle switch and your good use the blank off plate to left of steering wheel and just watch your temps in stop and go traffic. Cheaper and gain a few ponies + quicker warm up. Good luck.

Sounds like these guys have plenty of clutches for you, but efan is the way to go if you can afford it. My total cost was under 40 bucks (20 for the fan, and 18 for an adjustable fan controller from Autozone).

i have one if you need it only pay shipping also i got an e fan off of an altima and was simple cost me $15 for the fan and $5 for the wire switch and sodder took 1 hr and then i just used a ground based switch put it in the center consol where the original fad and blaance joystick was and looks damn good. and just flip it on when u start your car b/c if u think the other fan was always spinning anyways so this one will do the same
