Does anyone have the Hayden fan clutch???

1st pic is radiator fluid and second pic is tranny fluid....tranny fluid doesn’t look good. Also the flashlight shines right through the radiator and I do not see any mud or debri

 

It looks to be spinning too freely to me--at 193k I'd replace it. $44 to $80 at Rockauto...

 

Not quite sure what you are showing us in this pic??

Looks like coolant is 213, and the other two temps are the pan and the torque converter of the trans?

What were the conditions when this shot was taken?

 

It was 95 out and I was going up a mild incline.

Yes I know the trans temp is too high too

 

I’ve decided to just do the waterpump, thermostat, and coolant all at once since the truck has high miles

Also adding a tranny cooler and doing a full atf fluid swap.

 

If that video was done hot than the clutch is definetly bad

 

Yes it was hot. Hopefully tommorow I can check another tacoma and see how the fan clutch feels

 

is this supposed to be pink??????? bought the truck second hand and saw it when changing the oil.

 

Yes they are pink.

 

hahaha ok thanks! always wondered about it but never really asked the question. lol blue tacoma with pink parts

 

Did the tranny fluid sample come from the tranny cooler or from the engine oil cooler? Might explain the brown.

 

Tranny cooler....where is the oil cooler ?

 

Ok. Just making sure PO didnt add one of these and use a stock tranny cooler for it.
Oil cooler is under the oil filter. Its a donut that has two coolant hoses running to the water pump.
With atf that color, you may consider dropping the pan and changing the filter if you are wanting to service the tranny.

 

haha mine was pink too. Didn't think it was stock.

 

What gauge us this? I need to get one

 

Ultragauge

 

If someone else could please take a video of their fan clutch when hot that would really help.

 

Well today the truck was at 200 and after I shut it off the fan clutch was able to spin almost half a turn

Have ordered
-fan clutch
-aisin water pump
-thermostat
-coolant
-4 gal of atf
-tranny cooler

 

Hope you fix your issue. I kind of put mine on the back burner but I know I still have some type of issue. Do you plan on installing the fan clutch first to see if that was the problem or are you going to install everything at once and hope for the best?

 

Gonna do it all at once!! I’m pretty sure it’s the fan clutch but we will see!!


I’m a little paranoid doing the tranny fluid flush as I live in a apartment lol
