my fan clutch went out and i just wanted to know should i get on from the junk yard or get one new the only thing is in tight on money and the junck yard is charging me 55 bucks what should i do?

 

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.

 

convert to an electric fan, those fan clutches are $$$ and a electric fan is an upgrade, just search for some other threads about the subjects. There is actually a few different vehicles that you can steal the E-fan from or you can buy one new...

 

i think i might have a fan clutch for you. what year?? $25 shipped, guarranted to work or ill refund your $$ or send you another. i got a pile of those things.
electric fans are real nice though.... hence the pile.
pm me if interested.

 

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.

e-fans work great and i have never had any problems. if he want the fan clutch i have one for him.

 

You should be able to pick up an e-fan for less than that from the junkyard...

 

i dont know.. junkyard are a ripoffs these days. ***** like 25 percent off what it cost new in a lot of places!

 

i have a clutch fan u can have drop me a email and i ll give u my # all u pay is shipping and keep a look out for some nice 79 or 80 taillights

 

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.

 

Trusting yourself to control your fan by watching your temp gauge is a recipe for a blown motor. Don't even try it.

 

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).

 

You have PM

 

you can trust the junkyard as long as you grt a receipt and they have a refund or exchange policy

 

I dont think people should be driving one of these little old cars at all if your not watching your guages anyways that goes for all cars you can never now when **** can go wrong I look at my guages all the time on all my cars.

 

The problem is that the stock temperature guage is so slow to react that if you wait to see what it says, it could be too late.

God invented thermostats for a reason, after all.

 

still got many good fans you pay shipping ncw812@yahoo.com

 

Try the for sale section instead of bumping a 1 year old thread.

 

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

 

Seems like we are the only 2 who noticed that. lol. oh and a free bump

 

Someone move this old *** thread to the WTB Section. It's starting to sound like a flea market,lol.
