Assuming this is a factory installed a/c system and not an aftermarket one, there are several possibilities for the clutch engaging and disengaging. When the compressor cycles off, do both fans go off at the same time? The clutch and fans should work together in a properly operating system. The airconditioner routinely would cycle on and off in a good system to prevent the evaporator core from forming ice on the cooling fins and blocking airflow. If the clutch only cycles on and off and the fans remain running, a wiring problem say at the connection to the clutch or the thermal switch on the compressor itself may be defective. Another possibility is that the clutch coil is developing an "open circuit" but cycle times of the clutch engaging and disengaging would be fairly long. I'm sure there are more things that may cause your problem but these are good places to start looking.
