    sounds like supercharger under hood first min of driving

    Sounds like the fan clutch. My 91 had the same noise for a while. Sounded like a Cesna taking off. I replaced the fan clutch and it is fine now. Easy job to do if you get the wrench set (about $20.00 @ Pep Boys) that is made to remove the fan from the clutch.

    '91 auto transmission question

    The automatic Trans. in my '91 EB has just developed a new problem. When I first put it in drive it will not engage right away. It’s like it is still in neutral until I give it some gas for a few seconds. It feels like it has to build up pressure first. Reverse is fine and after it is in...

    OK, When might I Expect to see the fan NOT engaged ? So I can be sure the clutch is working ok ??? I don't understand what the point of the fan clutch is at all. It seems to me that if it has a clutch, there is some condition that it should not be engaged ?
