'97 SSEI A/C CLUTCH IS SQUEALING
'97 SSEI A/C CLUTCH IS SQUEALING. Has anyone ever changed out one? Advance auto sells the bearing for around $25.00-$45.00. or do I change out clutch?
Background: When a/c is off compressor is very loud, and when a/c is on noise goes away. Gator |
I had that exact problem too. I got the clutch plates re-gapped and it solved the problem.

Clutch plates re-gapped? Please explain
Gator |
just like any clutch, when not engaged there is a gap between the 2 plates. Well occasionally that gap gets smaller/non existant to the point where the plates rub against each other and make that awful squeeling sound that you are probably hearing.
Instead of replacing the clutch, I had the plates re-gapped. Personally, I would have looked into how much it would be replace the whole clutch assembly but the car was my parents at the time...and they are cheap. |
Nothing wrong with being cheap!
I've never heard of anything even remotely close to re-gapping the clutch. Were can I get more info? |
i got mine done at a local garage, not a big joint. But I knew the owner and never heard anything bad about him. I went in and talked to him about it.
I guess you should do the same. |
I have the exact problem... although my ac doesn't work... which I'm not sure if the problem is in the climate control module, becuas eit blinks like there is a problem. but how much did you pay for the re-gapping.
