Originally posted by Cha Ching View PostI'm LOL'ing at all the hoopla...Yes, replace that sucker since being in balance is what motors are all about. I think I may even have a spare. Shoot me a PM & give me your address. You just need the fan, right? Your clutch is still good, just the blade broke, right?

Originally posted by McGyver View Posthow much mass is each of the weights on your tires that keeps it in balance? 5 grams on a 10lb wheel with another 10lb of rubber?
i would say that it would be a bad idea to run it like that when you can just go to a junkyard and get another one.
Bottom Line: Replace the fan.

Also, as long as your cooling system is in check, you should be able to run w/o the fan until you can replace it, although you probably shouldn't do that for too long. I know a lot of the fan clutches are bad on these cars, so they aren't doing a whole lot anyways...
