My car overheats when at idle and the temperature is warm. During the winter, I had no problems. Once the temperature got above 80 or so and there was little to no wind, it would warm up, slowly, if I was idling for a long period of time. It would warm up quicker if I turned on the A/C. When I start moving, it can be 105 outside and the car is fine.

I searched a bit and apparently it is the fan clutch. I haven't taken off the main drivebelt to check, but I'd like to replace the fan clutch and the drivebelt at the same time.

To replace the fan clutch, what do I need? How difficult is it to do? Is it something I can do myself? I'm not mechanic, but I'm not a complete novice either.

Thought? Thanks,

There's no fan clutch on an sc400. The fan is hydraulic powered. I don't remember the details, but I recall a fan fluid resivoir (I thought it was a joke when I first saw it), might check the fluid level. Add ATF if low.
