It works on GM cars also. It only costs $150 new. Now that the A/C works it seems to work all the time. The compressor gets so cold that even when the A/C is off the compressor pulley freezes and the belt squeals like there is a raptor (one of those flying dinosaur things) under the hood. I had someone look at it and they thought the shims were off on the clutch. Should I just change the entire clutch? I saw a special at Blaufergnugen for $150.
