Review on AUTEX AC Compressor Clutch Coil Assembly Kit 80221SWAA02 38810RRBA01 4918U1 by Yung Cypher

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Totally wrong shims complicates a relatively easy install

Walmart 1 day shipping is great.The good:Seems well built.Coil fits.Bearing/pulley fits.Clutch fits.1 Snap ring fits.The bad:1 Snap ring does not fit.The included shims are ALL the WRONG size.You better be prepared and buy the right shims ahead of the install or you will be stuck. More than likely there will only be one shim on the old clutch and you will need 3-4 for the new one. To get the right clearance. I was forced to make a shim out of a washer and some sandpaper to get the right clearance. I will be buying the right shims and reinstalling but I was forced to backyard engineer because the kit had the wrong size shims.I would also higy recommend getting both snap rings or have an assortment of snap rings available in advance. Snap rings can get twisted and disfigured on removal making it difficult to re install them.All in all, time will tell how this product holds up.I have to deduct 3 stars simply for the fact that the shims and snap rings are the wrong size which totally complicates the install and adds an easy 1-2 hours to the install which could be avoided for some parts that cost .03 cents.If it lasts, it's a 5 star product minus the shims and snap rings

Pros
  • The compressor clutch coil assembly kit is a top-quality replacement for your faulty AC system
Cons
  • May result in additional expenses in the long term
