I was convinced I had a bad fan clutch; when the car was warmed up, it failed the newspaper test and was easy to spin.
So, I purchased a new fan clutch. I curiously noticed that the new fan clutch had an older production date then the old, bad one. That shouldn't matter considering the new one still had no miles on it.
Now with the new fan clutch installed, it still seems to also fail the newspaper test. Also, upon inspection it seems the old, bad one is a bit harder to spin then the new one... is it possible that I bought a bad fan clutch? Are these common defective parts?
I'd really like to test this theory but am not sure of any other way or how.
