Review on AUTEX A/C Compressor Clutch Kit BP4S61K00 For NON TURBO ENGINE by Elijah Pope

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Near complete failure after 2 months

After two months of average use, two of the three components in this kit have failed completely.First, the coil did not come with the correct connector, so I had to cut and solder on the correct connector. What it comes with will plug directly into the harness coming from the car. This is not good as it bypasses the high temp cutoff switch.The air gap wasn’t too easy to adjust correctly, as the clutch face isn’t perfectly flat. I would get it within spec, but as I moved the feeler gauge around, it would catch in a few places. Nonetheless, I was able to get it so it wasn’t dragging but still engaged fully.After two months, and noticing some pretty bad noises, I had discovered total failure of the bearing inside the pulley, complete disintegration of the friction material on the pulley, and all three of the bushings that hold the two pieces of the clutch together had separated and gone missing, leaving the clutch just flopping around.I’m rating this two stars instead of one because the coil is still functioning correctly, but I bit the bullet and bought the pulley and clutch from a dealership (was about $230).I contacted the seller about this issue and they were very kind, understanding, and responsive. Within two days of me calling them, they offered a resolution that was acceptable for me.Overall, poor product, but good seller!
