This clutch kit worked perfectly on my 2002 civic lx and made my air conditioning work again and now it’s barely even noticeable sound wise when I turn it on. It’s a must to know how to install this it’s a bear to do without the right tools or knowledge

My original bearing wore out on my 2001 Civic and caused the clutch to wear uneven and eventually not grab anymore. This was an OEM Denso compressor. So I gave this kit a shot instead of replacing the entire compressor. I reused the coil, as it was fine, and probably better quality. I ended up using all 3 included shims behind the clutch, which put me slightly over the recommended spec, but it seems to be working fine. The toughest part was reaching the pivot bolt on the alternator to loosen the belt. I recommend getting at it from the underside, so you don't have to remove the power steering pump. It's crammed in there, but it's possible to do! I'll include the section from the FSM. Hopefully this helps someone. I will update this review as time goes by, so far so good!

The OEM Honda compressor worked perfectly when the clutch would engage. Replacing a good compressor is silly when you can just replace the clutch. This is why I buy only the clutch. Connectors all match. High quality bearing. It could be done with the compressor installed but it was easier with it on the bench.

perfect fit for a 2005 Honda Civic EX

The brass thermal overload switch came broken, had to use my old one from the old compressor. Terrible quality products apparently.

The coil is not sitting properly on the compressor

This is a high quality part fix the problem i had with the honda civic AC not engaging

A bit challenging to install
