Fan clutch repair

[Inygknok]

Anybody know the correct part number for the Toyota fan clutch fluid?

Also, does anyone by any chance have the link to the repair guide for the clutch? I believe Jeff Lange wrote one but I can't find it and it's not on the portal.

Part number 08816-03001 but it's a lot cheaper at hobby shops where it's used in the diffs of RC cars. 50 ml of 3000 centistokes is what you want.


Edit: I wrote the procedure seen on this forum but basically all that's involved is to split the halves, drain, refill and reassemble. Rather than repeat it again this one will do:

I would tell you that and the part number took me all of 5 seconds to google but then I might be accused of being a Richard. You know, like people who don't thank others for helping them...

I ran into a few guides but thought that the GTE fan clutch might have something different. That's why I requested for the one here in the forum.


Thanks for the info though! I have an RC hobby shop just 2 minutes away. Didn't get the "Richard joke" but thanks anyways

Thank JJ! I would also like to thank you for the igniter ground thread that I believe you did too. My car sports that mod as well. I'll be looking into rebuilding one or more of my spare fan clutches.

Back on topic: Are there separate clutches for turbo and N/A, or do they both use the same one?

 

[Inygknok]

I can answer that ForcedTorque. I ran into a thread discussing just that while searching for the guide. If I remember correctly, there are 3 GTE clutches and 2 NA ones. The GTE ones were "drastically" different to the NA ones. I remember they had "the orange thing" to differentiate among the 2 and the GTE ones were much bigger in comparison. I know IJ and Jeff Lange wrote in that thread.

That's the thread, the first one.


By the way, I removed the nuts and screws holding the fan clutch together, but I can't pry it open for the life of me. Am I missing something?

Slide razor blade between the two pieces. It hasn't been opened for 20+ years. Also, getting that o-ring to stay in the groove on assembly is a chore. I used a thin card to push it back into the groove as I brought the two pieces together.... and don't overfill or it will be locked up tight and sound like a semi-trailer truck on a hot afternoon.

Aight, thanks 3P. Looks like I'll just turn on the tv while doing this then so I don't spaz out from impatience.

IJ said no and with many reasons to support his answer. I listen to the man.

Some owners will never understand why electric fans are not worth it if they are not an OEM design. Also, an electric fan can go anytime but a fan clutch will go slowly which you can pick up on a routine check up of your car at your oil changes.

If I knew who "Richard" was or if it's a coloquial joke or whatever, I might get it then.
