Can you just change the clutch on ac compressor 1995 eighty eight?

You can't just change the clutch *on* an AC compressor. The clutch is an integral part of the compressor assembly. You have to replace the entire AC compressor clutch assembly. There's no separate clutch replacement part available for most compressors, including those found in a 1995 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight.

Attempting to repair just the clutch would likely be more trouble than it's worth and probably wouldn't work. The clutch is typically attached to the compressor via a splined shaft or similar mechanism that might be damaged, making reassembly problematic.

If the AC compressor clutch is failing (e.g., not engaging, making noise, etc.), you'll need to purchase and install a complete replacement AC compressor. This is a job best left to a qualified mechanic unless you have significant experience working on automotive AC systems. Improper handling of refrigerant can be dangerous and harmful to the environment.
