Fan Clutch

[89Turbo]

If the fan is roaring constantly and the engine is cold, then you have a problem. Most likely too much oil in the clutch if you repaired it yourself.

When you start the engine cold you should clearly hear the fan roaring with a fast idle, then after maybe 15-30 seconds the noise dies away completely. If its not doing that, then drain some oil and try again.

brand new fan clutch, is roaring loud even when motor is at full operating temperture, how do you drain fluid out of that thing?

Brand New Toyota clutch? Or is it aftermarket?

I know my aftermarket clutch couldn't be opened like the stock unit....it was crimped closed or something, there aren't any visible fasteners holding it together.

aftermarket, just one from Baxter Auto parts, i fixed the squealing, guess i'll just deal with the roaring as long im not ruining anything.

With a cold engine, it should stop roaring after about 30 seconds after starting. If it sounds like an 18-wheeler all the time with a cold engine (temp gauge showing engine is not at operating temp) then its defective. Take it back and get another one.
