AC clutch failing?

[CademiaX]

Ok, this only happens above 2000 rpm's which is why I am holding it at ~3000 rpms and so you can see the AC kicking on/off and how quickly it reengages.

Does this mean the AC clutch is dead or does it just need to be adjusted?

(sorry, its sideways!!)

I am really getting tired of seeing all these "Please help me fix my car!" videos where all you can hear is DING DING DING DING DING DING DING.

But, now that I'm over that, the engine shouldn't be moving around at all even with the AC kicking on and off. You should get a temporary dip in RPM when it kicks on, and a temporary surge when it turns off.

Sounds like maybe you have low pressure in the system? Have you checked for adequate pressure? Generally when the clutch is going bad, it just doesn't engage at all. I've rarely seen a clutch glaze or start slipping. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen one do that.

starts making a ding sound, over and over and over while you read my post

Ok, well, it still blows nice and cold... well, unless the BDA wigs out...

I will check the pressure as soon as I get the rear brakes finished up.
