best place to get a/c compressor clutch?
I'm pretty sure the compressor is still good on my 2003 T&C. It blows cold but squeals very loudly wen the compressor clutch is engaged.
I have found just the clutch available at a couple of places but the price is within about $20-$30 of an entire rebuilt compressor, which is ridiculous. The companies that are rebuilding a/c compressors have GOT to have than $20 in the compressor itself so there has got to be a source somewhere that has lower priced clutches. Any suggestions? |
I purchased a clutch for my previous car at a scrap yard and lasted several years and is still working as far as I know(sold the car just before winter)I had to buy the compressor too cause they wouldn't sell it seperate but it was worth it tho...check your local yard,its cheaper.

I found a company that rebuilds them, they were selling on Ebay and I called the guy up. He said he'd sell me a clutch from a core unit but heavily recommended against it. He offered me a rebuilt compressor with 1 yr warranty, new drier, o-ring kit and an 8oz bottle of oil for $200 + $14 s/h. I got a set of a/c gauges from Northern Tool and have a friend that does residential hvac that I just found out has a set of connectors that came with his vacuum pump that will allow connection to a car (he's never worked on a car a/c unit before) but I have no doubt we can replace these components and recharge the system. The compressor hasn't failed so the expansion valve and condenser should be ok. |
