your electric a/c clutch is wearing out. You have to remove compressor to replace the a/c clutch mounted on the compressor.
If you can get someone to shim it out a little bit, it would work ok. Call a few indpenedent shops and ask if they can shim it and how much it would cost.
Just say, I need to have the clutch on my a/c compressor shimmed so my a/c clutch clamps tighter. 2000 Taurus. How much to do that?
I would guess $100 max.
Otherwise, you need to have clutch & field coil assembly replaced. Around $300 - $350.
Here is a picture of the compressor with clutch mounted on front.

1999 ford Taurus: I was told that this Sqwakking sound coming from my engine was the compressor clutch and that my only option was to replace the entire compressor. Is this true?? Either way, is this something I should try myself, whether it is the entire compressor or the just the clutch??
