Pretty sure my AC compressor clutch went out on me, heard a squeal yesterday when warming up, ran to the car to turn off AC to try and tell me if it was the culprit, however it stopped before I got to it....TODAY driving I hear the squealing again and then stops and my AC stops working, I smell burnt clutch and after inspection, the clutch seems loose in the compressor and there is debris around there. SO ya clutch is gone obviously, what im concerned about tho, is that when I run the AC the clutch seemingly engages but wont get cold air out of the vents (only tried it for 30 seconds or so).....wondering if my clutch would have taken out my compressor? I don't want to buy and install a new clutch when I need a whole new compressor.....Oh yeah just evacuated and refilled the AC with 600 grams three days ago....
