It is on the acumulator.
The ac pressure cycling switch is designed to engage or dissengage the clutch to keep the proper pressure in the system.
Engages and disengages the compressor clutch as needed.
If it is like the ( 1996 ) Ford Escort : The BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR is also the CLUTCH FLUID RESERVOIR
The Clutch is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. The flywheel spins with the crankshaft and the pressure plate presses the clutch disk to the flywheel. The flywheel transmits torque to the transaxle input shaft through splines along the inner hole in the clutch. The clutch is between the engine and the transaxle Dean Schrickel, P.E.
The 1995 Escort clutch has a single dry plate diaphragm spring type clutch. The clutch plate has a splined hub which allows it to slide along the splines on the input shaft. The clutch and pressure plate are held in contact by spring pressure exerted by the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate. During shifting when the clutch pedal is depressed, which transmits hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the release cylinder, pushing on the release lever so the throwout bearing pushes on the diaphragm spring fingers, disengaging the clutch.
it is a hydraulic pressure clutch, the servo pushes on the clutch arm around half as much as your foot moves
U would not beable to use the clutch
Most automotive AC compressors use a cycling clutch compressor, where the clutch is engaged by pressure switches which will engage the compressor clutch when the pressure reaches a predetermined low level, and disengages it when it reaches a predetermined high pressure.
On a vehicle with a compressor with a cycling clutch, yes.
It sounds like you have a worn out clutch disc or the pressure plate is not applying enough pressure to the disc. Either way, it does sound like you are ready for a new clutch.
You can't adjust a clutch in a 95 Escort because it has a hydraulic clutch.
