Ill try to get a GTE fan clutch & see what happens...
Anyone have a working extra GTE fan clutch? :naughty:

Doesn't always lock. Mine leaked enough to just freespin and not lock up leading to overheating.
With A 10 blade on na clutch? I was just referring to that not that all clutches only lock up when they go bad.
Well now i fully understand. i think what i will do for now is buy the GTE 10 blade fan, and then buy a used GTE fan clutch to pair it up to and install it

Green IS the Tundra clutch. I have one sitting on a shelf in my garage. With the Tundra clutch, the fan sits just a hair closer to the radiator; but there's no clearance issues when using one on the Supra.
Here's a pic of the Tundra, GTE, and GE fan clutches sitting side by side.
You can see just how much closer each clutch puts the fan to the radiator.

The parts store one is even smaller than the N/A one.
The clutch and/or fan have nothing to do with your engine not reaching temperature. That's assuming it actually isn't, something you've yet to provide any real evidence of.

That's very odd, this is the clutch off of my 86.5 NA, which appeared to be original when removed. Appears to have a green hub.deabionni;1660245 said:Green IS the Tundra clutch.

These cars are so old that unless you've had it from new it could have been changed anytime....
Every single NA I've ever seen had the Blue Clutch.

True it is just a guess that its original, but it is an Aisin and looks like the body of the clutch itself matches the NA clutch in the other pic. Just curious if certain years used different colors/why my clutch is green.
Also, look at the beveled edge (end of the fins) in OP's pic:
Now look at the pic of all 3 clutch's posted above. The green Tundra clutch has a very square cut edge where the others/mine do not.

Are all the fans designed the same as the GTE? I know the fan clutch on the GTE is locked for like 30 seconds at startup, are they all like that? If not, won't the different design effect the cooling ability and fitment of each fan/clutch? While you guys are talking about stock fans, mine spins freely all the time, and i thought i heard someone say it should be locked when the motor is off. When it is on it still moves plenty of air in the engine bay, but i would like to repair it if it is broken. Sorry for threadjacking.

Im assuming its the wiring. Like i said before i changed the sensor (got it from Napa), thermostat (Oreilly's), gauge from the cluster (SM Member) & no change. Ill post a picture of the gauge & the temperature it reaches when i get out of work. I don't have a video camera.

I wish the "lock up" thing would die. There is no mechanical connection between clutch halves that can fail. None. It's strictly a hydrodynamic coupling and due to losses can't turn the fan more than 70% of input speed even when the thermostatic valve is fully closed. It's 80% for the truck clutch. Why do you think they have cooling fins?
^Word. Great info guys!
I have a GTE fan and clutch that I am not using if this thread inspired anyone to buy a real one.
PM me for more info
