So the clutch bearing gave way, didnt totally go out but was the time bomb waiting to go. Went to the JY AND GOT A COMPRESSOR WITH A GOOD CLUTCH AMD SWAPPED EVERything over. Mind you the ac has worked the entire time extremely well actually. Swapped the clutch from the JY compressor to the one in the jeep which is original. Got everything buttoned up and now the clutch never disengages? I can see it start to slow down but no completely disengage The ac still works its not blowing freon from the relief port, but wondering what would cause it to never disengage? Is it even something to bat an eye at? Thanks everyone!
Went thoroughly the factory clutch break in Also and it hasn't changed?

Does it disengage when you turn the A/C off?

 

You dropped some shims gaps to close .

 

This

 

I got to thinking about that later that this may be the case. Can you get just the shims in a kit or is it something that only comes when you buy a new compressor? Also what's the downfall to driving on it the way it is? Thanks

 

The dealer will have a shim kit.

 

No go on finding the shims, even the dealerships don't show them available. Anyone see any Hirt is using washers to get the air gap needed?

 

You can find people on Ebay that sell the clutch faceplate and new shims. You might be able to contact to purchase only the shims.
