The saga continues! I noticed that the clutch had a larger gap on one side so I re-shimmed it and of course the AC still didn't work and the compressor would not turn on! The good news is that the AC relay is fine and that I was able to jump the low pressure switch and the compressor went on! I am ...

I am considering charging the system myself or just taking it to my mechanic. From what I have read I think you are correct by ...
