Bad CLUTCH?

 

[team]

did you check the clutch coil resistance to make sure there isn't an open, or to high of a resistance?

no, how do i go about doing that?

 

[scucci]

Make sure the clutch has a good ground. If it does then,
with the engine running, AC on, tap the clutch shoe plate with a hammer handle or screwdriver handle. If the clutch engages remove a shim to get the clutch to .016-.025" gap. Please be very careful around the running engine watch out for fan blades and belts.

Your clutch plate is defiantly missing.

 

[Rich-]

is this something that can be replaced? or do i need to buy a new compressor?

 

[scucci]

That is quite common. You might check at autozone or another parts house for a reman clutch. You'll need a shim assortment and a new bolt.

Yes on the shim pack and clutch. You'll need to call or email rockauto and ask if it comes with shims. If it does you don't need the shim pack. It can be changed on the vehicle. It comes with instructions.
