ISSUE:
About 6500 1995 vehicles with factory installed A/C may have a short thread in the FS-10 A/C compressor shaft that holds the clutch bolt. The bolt could bottom out and leave a gap between the the bolt head and the clutch disc. This could lead to the clutch disc moving away from the pulley resulting in an excessive air gap which could prevent the A/C clutch from engaging.

ACTION:
If this condition exists, adjust the air gap according to the service procedures found in Section 12-00 of the appropriate Service Manual and install clutch spacer(s) under the head of the clutch bolt as a washer. The largest spacer is approximately 1 mm thick and can be found in spacer pack (F1VY-19D648-A).
