both fan clutch and the clutch is connected to the crank, so they've got to be working together.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

perhaps you don't know, the clutch is not diretcly connected to the crank pully, it comes in contact with the flywheel, which is connected to the crank.
so here is how they are similar, neither of them are connected directly to the crank, they both connect to the crank through help of another device. the clutch fan is connected to the crank by a pully, and the clutch is in contact with the crank through flywheel
