if the engine is hot and it free wheels, it's blown...

FYI: the auto parts stores only show ONE fan clutch, and it's based off the N/A design. it will work, but it's about half the size of the turbo fan clutch, and there was a reason toyota made 2 different ones...

I bought the one from the dealer to be safe...

not on the parts store one...

it was made in the USA...and was TINY... there has to be a reason toyota put so many cooling fins on them...

I spent a lot, something like $150 or more...

but the old one lasted 150K miles... so it's a good investment in my eyes...
