How does the viscous coupling of the fan affect the Drive Belt, and what steps should be taken to check its performance on 1988 Mazda RX-7?

The viscous type coupling of the fan may fail through excessive slip, which cannot allow the engine proper cooling, or seizing, which creates noise and wasted power. To test the fan, cut a blade to be visible, warm up the engine and test fan speed. Assuming that it does not meet the particularations, change the fan drive clutch.
