With FS-10 Compressor

A/C CLUTCH AIR GAP

A/C Clutch Air Gap Check:

1. Check the air gap between the A/C clutch and the A/C compressor clutch pulley mating surfaces with a feeler gauge.
2. The air gap should be between 0.35-0.85 mm (0.014-0.033 inch).
3. Check the air gap at three locations equally spaced around the A/C compressor clutch pulley.
4. If the air gap is not within 0.35-0.85 mm (0.014-0.033 inch), repeat the above steps with various thickness shims until the air gap is within the specified limits.
5. When installing a new A/C clutch, cycle it ten times at idle to burnish the A/C clutch and prevent slippage.
