Default Clutch Fan

So my clutch fan took a crap tonight on a 250 mile round trip and I'm wondering what kind of problems I might face if I can't afford to fix this for the next couple weeks?

Fan is locked up so it spins with the engine right now. Temp never rose above normal and it's really only noticable when reving up the engine (like when you are getting up to speed from a stop).

Checked Rockauto and their cheapest is about $47, anyone know of a less expensive place to find one?

Shouldn't be a problem, it'll just be noisier. Your radiator temp will run cooler, but it shouldn't be anything your thermostat can't handle.

You can always swap it for a junkyard electric fan
