SCITOO AC Compressor Clutch for Nissan Murano 3.5L (2009–2014) — DKS17D 7-Groove Complete Kit, Pulley + Coil

SCITOO AC Compressor Clutch for Nissan Murano 3.5L (2009–2014) is a direct-replacement DKS17D clutch assembly—complete with pulley, front plate, and electromagnetic coil—to restore your vehicle's air conditioning engagement and pulley function.

If your Murano, Maxima, Pathfinder, Quest or compatible Infiniti models are experiencing intermittent A/C engagement, strange pulley noise, or excessive slippage, this SCITOO replacement clutch is built to match original equipment fitment and pulley configuration. Designed for vehicles using the DKS17D compressor type with a 7-groove pulley, the unit ships as a ready-to-install kit so you can replace the worn clutch components without sourcing individual parts.

How do I confirm this clutch fits my car?

Compare your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size against the listed fitment and check the compressor type and pulley grooves on your current unit. Look for the DKS17D designation and count seven ribs on the pulley; matching those two details ensures compatibility.

• Fits: Nissan Murano 3.5L (2009–2014), Maxima 3.5L (2008–2014), Pathfinder 3.5L (2013–2015)
• Also for: Infiniti JX35 2013, QX60 2014–2015, Nissan Quest 2011–2015
• Part numbers listed for cross-reference: 67671, 11167671, 7512742, 68671, 92600JP01C, etc.
• Verify compressor type = DKS17D and pulley grooves = 7

What comes in the SCITOO clutch kit and why it matters?

The package includes the pulley with bearing, a front plate, and the electromagnetic coil—everything needed to restore the clutch assembly's mechanical and electrical function. Replacing all three components at once prevents mismatched wear and simplifies installation compared to piecemeal repairs.

• 1 pulley with bearing for smooth rotation and reduced noise
• 1 front plate to restore proper engagement surface
• 1 electromagnetic coil to ensure consistent magnetic engagement
• Sold as a complete clutch assembly for quicker replacement

How should I prepare before installation to maximize part life?

Cleaning the A/C system inlet/outlet lines and removing debris before fitting the new clutch reduces the risk of premature failure from contaminant-induced bearing or coil damage. Inspect the compressor body and rotor for scoring or missing fasteners and replace any auxiliary seals if needed.

• Flush cooling system passages to remove metal shavings and grit
• Confirm electrical connectors are clean and corrosion-free
• Check compressor shaft for wear or scoring before mounting
• Tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque specs during assembly

Will replacing the clutch fix all A/C problems?

Replacing the clutch restores engagement and pulley rotation but won’t address issues unrelated to the clutch, such as low refrigerant, a faulty compressor internals, or electrical faults elsewhere in the A/C circuit. Use this part when the clutch or pulley is the diagnosed cause of noise, slipping, or engagement failure.

• Ideal for clutch wear, pulley bearing noise, or coil failure
• Not a remedy for internal compressor damage or refrigerant leaks
• Pair with diagnostic tests for coil voltage and clutch engagement
• May require additional seals or O-rings depending on vehicle

Who is this for: This SCITOO clutch assembly is aimed at DIY mechanics and professional technicians working on 3.5L Nissan and Infiniti models that use the DKS17D compressor with a seven-groove pulley. If you need a like-for-like replacement that includes pulley, bearing, front plate, and coil—and you have confirmed fitment by part number and pulley groove count—this kit offers a straightforward option to restore clutch operation and pulley performance.
