What is the air gap setting on a 98 cavalier ac clutch?

There isn't a single, universally specified air gap setting for a 1998 Cavalier AC clutch. The correct air gap depends on the specific compressor model installed in that particular vehicle. The air gap is critical for proper clutch engagement and preventing damage.

You MUST consult your vehicle's repair manual or a reputable online resource specific to your 1998 Cavalier's AC compressor model. The manual will provide the exact air gap specification in millimeters or inches. Trying to guess or use a generic value could damage the compressor.

Attempting this repair without the proper information and experience could result in further damage to your AC system. If you are not comfortable with this repair, it is strongly recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified AC mechanic.
