After installing, when I push the a/c button, I do not hear the clutch engage like I used to prior to replacement. I think the possible problems are below. Can you comment on what you think? 1. I might have put in too many shims and the gap is too big. The original clutch had one shim and I put in 3. 2. Wiring is not hooked up right. However, the 2 harness plugs seem to rule this out. 3. The system is discharged. This is probably not putting any compression pressure on the unit and it is actually engaging but you cannot hear it. thx, Bill www.azautofair.com -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.asp...ubishi/200609/1 South4t via CarKB.com View Public Profile Find all posts by South4t via CarKB.com Add South4t via CarKB.com to Your Buddy List   #2   10-02-2006, 06:35 AM jonny Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 4 a/c clutch not engaging 3.

I will have to charge and wait to see if I hear slippage or get air that is not cool enough. jonny wrote: Quote: 3.
