ApplianPar AC Compressor Clutch Assembly Kit for Honda Civic 1.8L 2006-2011 — Coil, Pulley Bearing & Plate

ApplianPar AC compressor clutch assembly kit replaces the worn clutch on Honda Civic 1.8L 4‑cylinder models from 2006–2011 to restore proper A/C engagement when the compressor and electrical circuit are otherwise sound.

This clutch assembly kit is built to match the factory fit for Honda Civic 1.8L engines produced between 2006 and 2011 and includes the pulley bearing, plate, and electromagnetic coil. It is intended for use with the original OEM-style compressor only — confirm compressor condition and electrical supply before replacing the clutch. The kit replaces part numbers 38810-RNA-A01 / 38810RNAA01 and comes with the components needed to reinstall the clutch assembly following standard service procedures.

How will this kit restore A/C operation?

When the clutch assembly wears or the pole face fails, the pulley spins but the compressor doesn't engage. Replacing the clutch assembly can re-enable magnetic engagement between pulley and hub so the compressor turns when energized, provided the compressor itself and the control circuit are functional.

• Includes electromagnetic coil, pulley bearing, and clutch plate to rebuild the clutch.
• Matches OEM replacement part numbers for correct fit.
• Restores mechanical coupling of pulley to compressor hub when installed correctly.

What must I check before installing this clutch kit?

Confirm the issue is a clutch failure rather than an electrical fault or damaged compressor. Test the power supply and the clutch’s ability to pull in electrically; inspect the compressor front cover and shaft for scoring or other damage before assembly.

• Verify the compressor is not seized or leaking and the power circuit works.
• Remove the old clutch and inspect the compressor front housing for wear or contamination.
• Clean mating surfaces before installing the new coil and plate for reliable engagement.

How do I install the clutch correctly and set the air gap?

After fitting the new coil and securing it with the supplied fasteners or retaining ring, slide the pulley and secure its shaft retaining ring. Set the air gap between the pulley/pole face and suction cup to the recommended 0.4–0.6 mm and verify the electromagnetic pull when powered.

• Install coil first and fasten securely to the compressor front cover.
• Fit pulley and check free rotation; eliminate any rubbing before proceeding.
• Use a feeler gauge to set a 0.4–0.6 mm gap, then energize briefly to ensure proper attraction.

Which components are included and what part numbers does it replace?

The package supplies all clutch-specific parts needed to rebuild the drive end of the compressor: the electromagnetic coil, clutch plate, and pulley bearing. It is engineered to replace Honda part numbers 38810‑RNA‑A01 and 38810RNAA01 when used on compatible original compressors.

• Package contents: 1 x A/C compressor clutch kit (pulley bearing, plate, electromagnetic coil).
• Compatible with Honda Civic 1.8L 4‑cyl models 2006–2011.
• Intended only for use with original OEM-style compressors — not universal aftermarket housings.

Who is this for: This ApplianPar clutch assembly kit is aimed at DIY mechanics and professional technicians servicing 2006–2011 Honda Civic 1.8L vehicles who have diagnosed the clutch as the fault. If the compressor is intact and the electrical circuit supplies proper voltage but the compressor fails to engage, this kit provides the matching replacement parts to rebuild the clutch and restore correct A/C engagement.
