No, when the clutch engages/disengages, there is a very noticeable click. That is not happening and the clutch is not disengaging due to under/over pressure, it is simply stopping I suppose, either...

I believe it's slipping because I've observed the clutch plate stop several times while the pulley continues to rotate, without much noise or protestation from the clutch, belt or engine. So are you...

I haven't measured the contacts, but what would be considered "extremely high" pressure? I'm getting somewhere between 110-150 PSI, depending on ambient temps, on the low side with AC off after...

Thanks for the diagram, but having never seen the workings of the AC clutch, I can't really tell how to do it from just that diagram.

AC clutch disassembly/replacement

Anyone here know if the AC compressor clutch can be cleaned/fixed/replaced with basic garage tools? Mine is slipping so I'd like to know if it can be taken apart and replaced without special tools...

Normally, you can just remove the key or slide the sproket out and then remove the key. If you can't see it, then it is probably broken and half of it is stuck inside. We tried a gear puller on...

It's a bit expensive, but you should replace all the struts. My SVX also had the trunk slam problem and even developed a few chips and cracks, due to other people letting it slam. The rear struts...

Ahh yes, GT4 with a Logitech DFP and a big screen can't be beat. Now I just have to get some sort of "racing cockpit" to fit in the living room. :D

Those of you who are ordering a new halfshaft from Napa, make sure it isn't a reman from Car Component Technologies (CCT), because they have the incorrect part listed for the SVX. My local Napa,...

The tensioner pulley has a very small contact area compared to the PS, alternator and crank pulleys, so it is conceivable that it didn't squeal, especially if the belt was dirty.

Judging from past experience with frozen idler pulleys, I would think that the belt would make one heck of a squeal if it were slipping.

Have you tried the same tight turns, but at a very low speed, or with the front wheels off the ground? I ask because I had a similar episode awhile back and discovered that the battery clamp on the...

Measure with a DMM or pull the relay and bypass with a jumper. Contrary to the suggestions here, it does not have to be a heavy wire. Any 16-18 gauge wire will do, since it only carries current for...

The SVX ECU does not talk to the security module at all. So long as the starter kill relay isn't being falsely triggered, the car will start and run.

Well, given the way you described the install in the other thread, I can't say as I am surprised. First off, there is no "key in ignition" sensor in the SVX security system, just a starter kill...

You can't be trying to imply that the acetone somehow migrated from the fuel system to the front of the engine and lubricated the squealing belt. :confused:
