Product Description
It is an A/C Compressor Complete CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. ............ This Item fits: Honda Civic from 2006 to 2011 With 4 cylinder 1.8 Liter engines .....................This Clutch will not fit any after-market compressor………………………. The only component on your compressor, that never stops moving, is your clutch and most failures are the clutch NOT the compressor. Why spend $100.00's to replace the compressor when for less than $250.00 you can replace the Clutch only? If you have basic mechanical skills you can do it by yourself without dealing with the Refrigerant. By replacing only the clutch, you are saving on labor, compressor and parts like filter drier and expansion valve.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The 1 OEM shim on my compressor was .5mm (.023”) thick according to my calipers, and this kit from North America A/C Distribution included 2 shims that were both .4mm (.018”) thick. Both the OEM and aftermarket shims had an internal diameter of 10.0mm, so for those of you worried that the kit will include incorrectly sized I.D. shims, as other reviewers have experienced, then buy your kit from North America A/C Distribution, as they seem to have gotten it right. Using the OEM shim, the clutch plate was touching the pulley, so I used the 2 shims from the kit and my feeler gauges said the gap was .021”, which is .008” greater than the recommended .013” gap. I was worried that this was too much, so I tried sanding down a shim to make it thinner, but the steel they used is pretty tough because I couldn’t get it a single thousandth of an inch thinner. I installed it as-is and the clutch worked fine, only engaging when the A/C was switched on.
As other reviewers had trouble getting the pulley off, I bought a set of 3-jaw gear pullers on Amazon, but amazingly I was able to work it off without the pullers after spraying the inside with Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil (I’m sure other brands will work too). I was also lucky unscrewing the grounding wire without stripping it using a Phillips head bit on a 1/4” ratchet. Basically, spray stuff with penetrating oil if you fear them getting stuck.
You will need to unbolt the A/C compressor using a 12mm socket in order to pivot it slightly to get the pulley off, and you can hold the clutch plate still while you take off the 14mm nut using a pry bar against the three rivets on the face of the clutch plate, so you don’t need a special tool to hold it. You can also get the belt tensioner to loosen with a 19mm wrench, levered using another wrench (watch YouTube to see how they arrange the lever).
This project was a PITA, but you CAN do it yourself if you have basic mechanical experience and prepare for it by getting the right tools before hand. It’s sure as heck better than paying several hundred to replace the whole compressor, and this part is way cheaper than the clutch kit from the Honda dealership at $160+ (oddly, O’Reilly doesn’t carry any clutch kits for this car). Good luck, and don’t buy from AiKai.

For others considering this repair I wanted to contribute in an effort to assist others.
- Straight forward repair (see excellent YouTube videos). However re-installing the inner larger snap ring which secures the electromagnetic coil to the compressor nearly did me in! Not too hard to remove it but Very Difficult to re-install. I found reusing the original Honda snap ring was helpful. It was easier to work with than the ring that came in my clutch kit. It has smaller holes for the tool to fit into, has a slightly larger gap, and wasn't as prone to twisting when fully expanded. The snap ring tool that worked for me (although not a quality tool) is the straight-external tool from this kit - TEKTON 3576 Internal / External Snap Ring Pliers Set, 4-Piece. To work for this repair the tool needs to have long needle-nose like ends, which give you some working room between the coil and compressor shaft.
- Snap ring tools I tried that did NOT work for me in this tight space are: GearWrench 82033 Double X External Snap Ring Pliers and Channellock 927 8-Inch Retaining Ring Plier.
- On the '06 Civic if you also change the serpentine belt please note Honda Service Bulletin 06-059. Your replacement belt will be longer than the original and needs to be routed differently.
- In my case the A/C compressor had to be unbolted from the engine to allow enough space to remove the clutch (it hits the frame otherwise). There are 4 bolts holding the compressor to the motor; the two on the bottom are easy to spot and the two on the top can be found next to the inlet and outlet compressor hoses. All 4 bolts are long and come in from the front.
- The philips head screw holding the coil grounding wire is an M4 and 8 - 10 mm in length.
- I was surprised to learn that the cost of a replacement compressor with clutch was roughly $300 (US). I was so-stuck on the inner snap ring that I considered replacing the whole unit and paying for a system vacuum/recharge ($135 US).
Hope this information is helpful!
