Can just the ac clutch on a 2010 Honda civic be replaced or does the clutch and compressor both need to be replaced?

Unless compressors have changed from the older ones, yes you can replace the clutch. But check prices first in how much it will cost, may be cheaper to replace the compressor at the same time getting both together.

The real dilemma is, "what made the clutch go out"? If you buy the clutch and find that it caused the clutch failure you've just wasted the price of the clutch. Since there's no way to tell without replacing the clutch I prefer to just replace the whole thing which gives me a good warranty.

The AC compressor usually gets replaced now with the clutch. The dealer might just replace the clutch.

  • How much should I pay to replace the AC compressor on a 2010 Honda Odyssey? The air conditioning on my wife's minivan recently went out. I had her take it to a mechanic expecting a refill situations costing less than $100. When they got back to us they said the clutch would not engage on the AC and it required replacement costing over 1100 dollars. I've seen the part online for $250 to 450. How much is reasonable to pay for this repair? Would I be better off buying the part online and having someone else install it? I'm told the job is about 3 hours.
  • How often should a car's AC compressor need to be replaced? We have a 2007 Honda CRV with 120,000 miles on it. The AC compressor system just failed. I feel like that's too soon for a 7 year old car. I've had cars for 10-15 years and never had that happen. How often should that happen?
