    OK, sorry dude, my mistake. I thought they all had one thermo fan in front of the radiator- for additional airflow on occasions that the engine gets really hot (in addition to the standard viscous-clutch fan behind it). Good luck! Nick

    The car should maintain a constant temp on the gauge in the middle, Did the new clutch stop it from going up higher? If the car is now running cooler, than normal, probably you put in a cooler T-stat.

    Sorry. I wrote wrongly. I change the fan clutch but the temperature gauge is after the midle again.
