RE: [Chrysler300] A/C Compressor Clutch





The newer A/C clutch definitely works on the older compressors.  I had a broken older brush type clutch on my 60 Imperial, which has the V2 compressor.  I replaced it with a newer clutch for the RV2.  Works great.  Yes the diameter is slightly smaller on the new clutch but I still had enough adjustment range to tighten the belts.  The 60 parts book shows two clutches, one is 7 ½ diameter the other 5 1/8”.

 

By the way, the brush assembly for the older style clutch is the same part as a 63-72 Ford t-bird.  Part price $35.00  at Thunderbird Headquarters.

I am sure small clutch will fit early compressor. I believe George McKovich changed clutches on his 57 300C.

As far as bearing on early clutch, I have changed them out. Not hard to do. The early brush style is the down fall of that clutch. Putting a light coat of silicon grease on the commentator will help longevity of brushes.  

 

Take Care,

I have often wondered same thing .. does late 2 belt clutch assembly fit on the early V2 compressor ? Same bolts on front of V2 or an adapter / mount plate changed ? I have an AC equipped D , compressors look the same up into 70’s , but huge clutch on early ones . 

Anyone know for sure? Or maybe a whole ~ 1970 V2 with clutch and pulley fits same mounting ? Rebuilt later ones available .  

What is wrong with the old one ? In my experience bearing it rides on when free wheeling seizes up or balls fail: grind up  . Other wearing part might be a brush ? I think later one magnet coil is stationary ,?, no brush . But not sure  any of this . Someone must know. Related .. you really need a new receiver / dryer if changing compressor ? 

Good to know about this from AC guy.. and 134 change over .

They only have a replacement bearing. Looks like smaller diameter clutch started in 1969 which is available.

I’m thinking NAPA carries the clutch assembly.

Does anyone have a A/C compressor clutch that they want to sell or know where I can get one for a 61' 300G. Also does anyone know about using a later smaller diameter clutch on there A/C.
