Please post an update as to how well the clutch functions along with a part number. I've replaced several before and usually they don't disengage.

Make sure when using a heavy duty or severe duty fan clutch that your fan is compatible. If your fan is has less than a 3" blade or not enough pitch it will not produce enough drag to disengage the clutch and may not pull enough air to cool the clutch.

Well dang, that's something that I have not ever considered.

How much pitch would you say is needed for a "severe duty" type clutch? Generally speaking, of course.
