WHAT AC A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH GAP SHOULD BE SET AT

WHAT AC A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH GAP SHOULD BE SET AT
►► Gap Tool: amzn.to/2O4eddD
We will show how to adjust the gap on ac compressor clutch. When the clutch gets old it wears out and the gap increases as a result the a/cc compressor might not work. You can fix that by adjusting the gap. Also, if you replace the clutch you will need to set gap otherwise the ac compressor might not work.

where can you buy the shims

[@cadaburgs]

Thank you so much.. Mine here had a 1.54mm gap..

[@matthewjenkins4473]

You just solved my headache with the washers. Thanks for the great video!

[@zrulz]

Great video. The proper ac clutch gap is hard information to find. You helped me out.

[@Anders_Johansson]

Thanks alot. Very informative Warm regards from Sweden

[@scottdowney4318]

last year my problem was clutch squealing-slipping, not the belt. Eventually it would just quit running the conpressor like it turn off the magnet, then when cooled off it would turn back on as i am driving. So this year first time using after the winter no squealing likely rusty, but it still works for a while then turns off clutch, then drive miles and it turns back on. Gap is twice what it should be, So i removed clutch plate and there is one washer spacer. Plan to remove it. Someone suggested as it heats up, the shaft gets longer in the compressor and the gap gets too wide and it shuts off, then when it cools gap gets smaller and it turns on.

Awesome and detailed video what is the air gap specs for a Ford Econoline e250 V8 5.4L 2000?

[@calvinmack206]

Fantastic video. I have a 95 Ford Mustang GT and the bolt came out the compressor. I got a new bolt and I installed three shims that came with the bolt kit. I need to check the gap. It does spin freely. I need to buy a feeler gauge. Thanks

Thank You. Doing it right now.. 2009 Toyota Tacoma.

Where or how did you find this information? I want to search something similar for my Renault Fluence

[@zacharymoore4446]

You answered the exact question I had, didn’t know what the hell those little washers were for lol

[@carlosbanegas7577]

thank you

[@rslover65]

Thanks

[@kerblow2017]

You need to measure the axial movement of the bearing or pulley first before you set it to the desire clearance to avoid metal to metal collision.

[@dr.psprojects9591]

Wow! you guys are amazing. I've got a 1996 corvette with the clutch locked up. I disconnected it and it still spins and is freezing over the refrigerant valve any ideas?

[@zrulz]

Disconnected and still spinning makes me think yours welded itself together, the compressor is seized internally and is not shifting in and out and will not retract. You should unbolt the clutch and check to see if has welded together and from there you can tell if you need to replace the compressor clutch or the entire compressor & clutch assembly. Don't give up fixing your own vehicles.

[@rustyshackleford6934]

I had no idea about the clearance spec. Im just gonna play with it til I get about .6 and send it. Wish me luck :P

[@coarsegoldkid]

You mentioned up front that the place to buy the shims would be in the description. I didn't find it and apparently I'm not the only one. Thanks

[@fashionstreet1]

I couldn't find that link either! 😂

[@crocodile2006]

@@fashionstreet1 The "shims" are just metal washers anyway.. just find one the right thickness.

[@CaracCompressor]

🔥🔥🔥🎉👍👍👍 Good work

[@LT11859]

What causes the compressor not to cycle off and on during operation? I put a new compressor and I’m afraid the compressor running constantly will dry out.

[@jorgecarvajal9637]

On Volvos the perfect clutch gap is between 0.3-0.5 mm

[@Santiago-je5ki]

soooo where do i find these shims?

[@crocodile2006]

At the hardware store in the washers isle

[@James-ri3fd]

Hey if anyone needs a good tip. You can test the compressor with a battery while it's still out to make sure your clutch engages. Don't do what I did

[@Equalizer7079]

What about the compressor working for 15 minutes then stopping? 04 mazda 3? This fix?

[@xjlover2058]

Please my 05 Silverado is doing this and it's annoying the shit out of me

[@darrinheaven4643]

Clutch gap I reckon, had that symptom with very similar Volvo c30. Ended up removing one shim to achieve the 0.3mm gap.

No, what you can do is google your AC's brand or part number and usually you will find specifications. Though most of them are 0.3-0.6.
