The Clutch on my A/C compressor is not engaging. The relay to turn the clutch on is engaging. My question is, do I need to change the compressor and clutch out or can I just change the clutch? Have to think that something caused the clutch to get hot and quit working or can it just be as simple as changing the clutch? Thanks in advance for any help/advice on this.

IDK if the clutch is available separately or not. Might be one of those cases where a complete unit might be a modest amount more than a single component.

I wonder what your Freon charge and oil level was.

Did you try jumping the pressure switch to see if clutch engaged?
