Default AC clutch noise - 00 Intrigue - 03-22-2007 , 05:47 AM






When my Intrigue does not have the AC engaged, sometimes (not all the
time for some reason) it makes a noise. I checked out the clutch and
it is rubbing more than it should, but I can't see a easy way to
adjust the space for the open position like I could on my old Dodge
clutch (which went through 2 USA built clutches, and the Jap clutch I
put on lasted the rest of the time I owned the vehicle).

It appears you need a special tool to remove the AC clutch. You pro
mech's, what do you advise?

Also, I sometimes get a high pitched squeal from this car's belt. I
can drip water on the belt and it goes away. New gates belt did not
solve problem. Tension seems ok. Guess its from alternator. Someone
suggested using scotchbrite pad to alternator pulley. Any hints?

There is a tool to remove and install the clutch plate, .015 air gap is
required here. Too tight a belt can also cause a squeal make sure the
tensioner is free.
