With the engine OFF & cold the fan should not turn more then a 1/4 turn or less. If it spins more then a turn that could be part of the overheating problem. I would check your water pump & belt.
Clutch Clutch problem, internal trany problem I have had this same problem. It has also happened to a few friends. 1. Throwout/Release Bearing failure 2. Internal Cluster Rod malfunction 3. Lack of proper lubrication
clutch needs adjusting,or if a hydraulic operated clutch, the system needs proper bleeding
The clutch is master and or slave cylinder are bad
AnswerManual transmission would have a clutch safety switch not a neutral switchClutch switch usually located at the upper end of the clutch pedal under dash areaThe clutch safety switch is located on the inboard side of the steering wheel on the pivot shaft that holds the brake and clutch pedals. Mine sticks in very cold weather. I just reach under and give it push.
hydraulic clutch does not have adjustment. replace the clutch it has a slave cylinder underneath and what you do is pump up the clutch and then hold it and have somone turn the line going itno th slave cylinder until you have clear fluid that is not how you bleed a clutch to the jeep owner, if you know how to bleed brakes on a vehicle, then you know how to bleed the clutch on a vehicle both done the same way.now if no parts of the clutch, such as master or slave cylander have been touched or let run out of fluid, there is still no need to bleed as that will not be the problem you might look at the linkage on the slave cylander. sometimes there is nylon bushing on the cylander rod that wears out. replace this bushing which is easy to do and your clutch will be good again.
Yes.
Clutch switches are usually located at the top of the clutch pedal.
No, that clutch is not adjustable.

low on freon nothing has a low ac charge take to shop and have a recharge done this will stop the ac clutch and give you cold air again
You have a clutch problem The clutch is not releasing correctly and the the car will not go into gear This is probably a problem with the hydraulic clutch system.
Some indications you need to have the fan clutch replaced are an engine that overheats and too much play in the clutch fan. Another clue is if the fan blade freezes up or if the thermal spring is loose or worn out.
Keep It Simple Stupid. Take it to a mechanic and replace clutch cause any clutch problem means you need to replace it!
