280znoob Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 So here is a vid of my Z. if you listen to the engine, when i touch the gas, you can hear that the fan makes a whole hell of alot of noise(not clicking or grinding, just really loud fan sound) The fan sound is the only sound you can hear when driving Normal? Anyone else have this? Is this normal, and i really am a 280znoob? (the sound i am reffering to starts at 00:37 seconds) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbigbutt Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Your fan clutch is probably seized. Search on rebuilding Fan clutch. Common problem and a lot easier to fix than you would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280znoob Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 what kind of problems could this cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbigbutt Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Worst case is that your fan would be spin way to fast and break apart! It would be spinning 6500 RPMs and could explode. I've seen some scary pics of shattered fans sending pieces through the hood, radiator, and fan shroud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280znoob Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 So could i take it out and call it good? I have never heard of a clutch having a fan? do they heat up real bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbigbutt Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 You need a fan of some sort. Fix it or replace it. What are your goals? May be a good time to install an electric fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Its the FAN'S clutch, not the CLUTCH'S fan. Big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
