Compressor Clutch Coil: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Compressor clutch components should always be inspected closely before they are reinstalled. The clutch plate and clutch pulley are mated at the
factory using a burnishing operation. No attempt should be made to separately replace the compressor clutch pulley or clutch plate. The clutch coil
may be serviced separately.
1. Examine the friction surfaces of the clutch pulley and the clutch plate for wear. The clutch pulley and clutch plate should be replaced if there is
excessive wear or scoring.
2. Examine the friction surfaces of the clutch pulley and the clutch plate for oil contamination. If the friction surfaces are oily, the clutch pulley and
clutch plate should be replaced. Also inspect the shaft and nose area of the compressor for oil. Remove the felt packing from around the
compressor shaft in the compressor front cover. If the felt is saturated with oil, the compressor front shaft seal is leaking and the compressor will
also have to be replaced.
3. Check the clutch pulley bearing for roughness or excessive leakage of grease. Replace the clutch pulley and clutch plate if the bearing is faulty.
