I was trying to install a missing fan shroud and in order to get it on, I removed the fan clutch.
The clutch was caked with gunk so I began cleaning it off. In the middle of the fan clutch is a round, wound, coil type of thing. There is what appears to be gunk in between the coil. I'm wondering if this is some special grease that was put there intentionally or if I should go ahead and clean it up.
Also, there was something looking like a wad of gum on the little "U" shaped post that one end of the coil sits in. Was this gum or some kind of caulk or silicone that is supposed to be there to keep the coil end from slipping off the post?
