A/C works fine, no noise from compressor or clutch. When it cycles on
and off, still no noise. However, when turned off I hear a shrill,
sorta grinding noise, and can see little metal flecks beneath the
pulley. It's got to be the A/C clutch but don't understand what's
happening. I assume it stays engaged as the thermostat cycles on and
off, but why is it self-destructing when the system is completely
turned off? ---Bob

Sound like the clutch is not fully releasing the pulley, or the air gap
between the clutch and pulley is to tight, get this looked at soon, do not
use ac in the mean rtime.
