Detailed Product Description
This engine cooling fan clutch is crafted from raw aluminum, providing a balance of strength and heat dissipation. The thermal clutch type responds to engine temperature changes, allowing the fan to spin faster when additional cooling is necessary and slowing down when less cooling is required. With a 6.65-inch maximum diameter and a 2.66-inch distance from clutch to mounting flange, it fits securely on the flange mounting system using four M6 x 1.0 threaded bolts. The clutch’s 3.18-inch overall height and 6.02-inch fan bolt circle diameter ensure proper alignment and fitment. Designed for standard duty use, this fan clutch supports the cooling needs of Nissan Frontier and Suzuki Equator vehicles, helping maintain engine efficiency and prevent overheating.
