Fan clutch recommendation
Can anyone recommend a decent (quiet) fan clutch for a 96 LS400? I put in an Autozone model for around $45 but it's darn noisy and keeps the fan speed up high and noisy way too much.
Thanks |
Usually oem is the best. Try the junkyards in your area, maybe you can find good used one there.

I've ordered an Aisin (part # FCT-014) for just over $100. I think that may be the OEM part (the corp is owned 30% by Toy). We'll see if it keeps my 'airplane' quite for a few years it will be worth it.

How is that Aisin fan clutch doing?

I have the same situation as you and I was going to order the Aisin fan clutch because the replacement (NPW fan clutch) my mechanic put in is very noisy. Is the Aisin fan quiet and working out for you? Thanks |
the loud fan clutches are usualy the non-thermal clutches. rock auto has a thermal clutch with a 5 year 50k mile warrantee for $45.79 HAYDEN Part # 2656 Thermal
Reverse Rotation Standard Duty Thermal Fan Clutch |
anyone tried upgrading clutch engage type fan to electrical fan?

please tell us where you scored it for that price!
also, were you able to identify the manufacturer of the original part you took off? |

also, were you able to identify the manufacturer of the original part you took off? Visually the part looked exactly like the original one, and that was my reason for ordering the Aisin from Amazon. Unfortunately I did not ask my mechanic to keep the original fan clutch see what brand was on my 1999. |
well Aisin is Toyota's second most used OEM after NipponDenso, but I always love to know the original OEM of pulled parts, just for my own mental database!
once you know the original manufacturer of the part, it makes it much easier to find the part at a cheap price by finding that part directly. :D |
You probably thought of this, but maybe a call or visit to your Lexus dealer would answer that or inspecting a part from a junkyard? Let us know if you find out.
