[QUOTE="DSG2003Mach1, post: 15390919, member: 16477"] so when the clutch freezes up, its just the clutch correct, its not like the pulley itself stops spinning? What you describe could be the system kicking off and on due to low freon levels, especially if it still does this when set to max ac. When the system is off theres enough freon on the low side to get the pressure up above the limits of the low pressure cutoff then once the compressor comes on pressure on the low side drops, trips the low pressure switch, it shuts off and repeats infinitely. If the clutch is actually hanging up I would replace it sooner than later and stop using the AC, you dont wanna burn up another compressor. The clutch assembly is replaceable I do believe but may need a special puller. [/QUOTE]
