Hello everyone.

I need some help identifying the correct replacement clutch, pulley, and bearing assembly for a Four Seasons 58098 A/C compressor installed on my 1971 Oldsmobile 442.

A few days ago, while driving with the A/C on, the compressor clutch/pulley area became extremely hot, started smoking, and produced a strong burning smell. The heat appeared to come mainly from the front pulley/clutch area.

However, the important thing is that the A/C was still cooling properly even while this was happening, which makes me believe the compressor itself may still be good internally.

The compressor currently installed is:

• Four Seasons 58098
• GM A6 style
• Single groove V-belt

I have been trying to locate:

• replacement clutch assembly
• pulley assembly
• front bearing

but I am having a very difficult time finding the correct compatible parts.

I found a Four Seasons 47284 clutch kit, but visually it does not seem identical to the clutch currently installed on my 58098 compressor, so I am unsure if it is compatible.

Has anyone here repaired one of these newer/remanufactured Four Seasons A6 compressors before?
Does anyone know the correct clutch/pulley/bearing assembly part number for the 58098?

Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

 

Almost for sure faster and possibly cheaper just to replace the whole compressor - Amazon $313 with clutch
