If anyone else has a new or fairly new fan clutch, I'd appreciate if you could do the same test that I did (spin the fan by hand with the engine hot and cold) and report your results here.

I just replaced the fan clutch in my '98 a few weeks ago. I only hear the "roar" after about 10-15 minutes of full temperature operation (~80C). Once the car cools off, the roar will be back until the RPMs get up to ~2000 and then it goes away. I think this is normal operation for a properly functioning fan clutch.
I'll try some hand spins of the fan clutch tonight (both hot and cold) and let you know how it goes for me.
