An alternative..... Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] (#114) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Herb Hirsch) on Mon, 17 May 2010 13:19:14 In Reply to: A/C Clutch Construction, PaulM, Mon, 17 May 2010 11:15:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I looked; eEuroparts does not sell the A/C clutch separately. A new compressor with the clutch runs about $500.
Here are a couple of options you could explore
1. Try Goldwing Saab for a used A/C clutch
2. Google: A/C compressor clutches A/C compressor clutches are available in the $25 - $50 range.
IMHO these are better alternatives than a rebuild attempt. I had the A/C clutch come apart on a 9000 many years ago; it did damage that cost about $350 to fix. A very small part of this was for a new clutch. You might save the cost of a clutch (an easy DIY replacement) but the cost of the damage could set you back a few hundred dollars and create a problem you can't possibly fix in your garage. By this I mean that a torn A/C hose means that you'll have to purge and recharge the A/C system.
