[QUOTE="kevster30, post: 205672, member: 10"] What the mechanic did was to permanantly lock-up your fan clutch. The clutch is now cpmletely locked and it is irreversible. The mettallic strip acts as a clutch spring to provide pressure into the clutch assembly. 1. The clutch will no longer spin freely as it is locked. 2. No reliability issue. Fuel consumption and power delivery will suffer as there is a permanant load on the crankshaft. 3. The fanclutch is designed with this feature. Should your clutch wear out and you are far away from a replcement, just do this and all will be fine. [/QUOTE]
