Not trying to start the which one is better debate, I will say I have tried all the clutches I have read about (mostly here). The one I replaced this week didn't roar and didn't clunk and rattle at idle. Unfortunately it never engaged, either. Oh, it kind of whiffed some air around but it certainly didn't cool properly.

I took it out, and laid it in the box. After another 20 happy minutes on the belly board, I was satisfied with the new install. I happened to pick up the old clutch and noticed it had burped out a gob of silicone goo. I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I was able to draw a conclusion that that fan clutch needed replacing. I was surprised because it probably has less than 2000 miles on it.
