Means it's working as it should, I should think! That's what the fans are there for.
Clutch could be a little oil on the friction plate, the splines of the input shaft not lubricated properly or faulty clutch hydraulics.
If the problem existed before the clutch was changed, then try replacing the gearbox oil with ATF.
