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
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.
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.
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?
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.

Where or how did you find this information? I want to search something similar for my Renault Fluence
You just solved my headache with the washers. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you so much.. Mine here had a 1.54mm gap..

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
I couldn't find that link either! 😂
@@fashionstreet1 The "shims" are just metal washers anyway.. just find one the right thickness.
Great video. The proper ac clutch gap is hard information to find. You helped me out.
Thank You. Doing it right now.. 2009 Toyota Tacoma.

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
You answered the exact question I had, didn’t know what the hell those little washers were for lol
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
How can we buy the little bushings the spacers
On Volvos the perfect clutch gap is between 0.3-0.5 mm

Where can I find the washers
Same question.
My clutch needs more shim washers
@@deasttn damn i just asked that question again
@@calvinl9727 I found something that works at hardware store
deasttn ok,the thinnest washer I found was still too thick so I’m going to try the junkyard..lol
@@calvinl9727 I needed a thick one.
You can always just sand it down?
What about the compressor working for 15 minutes then stopping? 04 mazda 3? This fix?
Please my 05 Silverado is doing this and it's annoying the shit out of me
Clutch gap I reckon, had that symptom with very similar Volvo c30. Ended up removing one shim to achieve the 0.3mm gap.
All type size 0.6mm ?
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.
@@Thumbii yes
my specs are 0.7-0.9mm Visteon VS16
@@Thumbii What is the specs for a ac compressor for a Ford Econoline E250 5.4L 2000?
