An outstanding experience with this gentleman:

www.pamperedcorvettes.com/Pampered_Corvettes/About.html

Not inexpensive by any means, but quality and function was and still is, wonderful. Phenomenal in fact.
Sent ours into him in the "off season" and he was much quicker at turn-around than you'd maybe get during Spring/Summer months. He has a lot of other projects going at the same time too. Very impressed with him.

Anyone have recent experience with a clutch fan rebuild.  Could not find any good company links in my search.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

It appears that the link listed for pamperedcorvetts is bad.

I was very happy with his work and a quick turnaround. He had relocated to Florida some time ago though.

anyone tested the rebuilt fan clutch for its function? I had to buy a new 4 season fan clutch (looks a bit different) because my Eaton was not working anymore. By the way: is this the correct one for an 289 D-Code? It looks quite the same like Corvette fan clutches from the 60's.

I just replaced the clutch on my 92. Was cooling fine most of the time but temp creeps up when sitting in traffic on hot days. It would be nice if there was a way to confirm it was bad before replacing it.

I did notice the new clutch on my 67 Tbird sounds like an ac compressor cycling on and off.
