Fan Clutch question

[Tbruz]

Pretty sure the Fan clutch on my 1997 2 door is the original with 123K miles.
Spinning it by hand is just as easy stone cold as it is when hot so I'm pretty sure it has failed.
Also I hear no roaring on cold start nor do I have any issues with overheating.

It there a more accurate test beyond the spin by hand test?
Thanks,
Tbruz

if it does not roar on a very cold morning when you raise the pm a lot the the clutch is no good replace it. the fluid has probably leaked out.

yup, sounds like its time to get a new one or upgrade to some E Fans if ya can...

if you can wiggle the fan side to side then the bearing has failed as well
