I have a fairly low mileage HD6 compressor that works fantastic but somehow the clutch gap has tightened to the point of slight drag during disengaged state. I opened the circuit at the coil to eliminate the remote possibility of a "phantom" voltage, confirmed that is not the case and it is only what appears to be stretched clutch plate springs. I can't say I have experienced this before - some break-in period for the clutch plate springs to get to their "relaxed" state. At any rate the issue does not seem unique based on my research and the fix is simply resetting the gap. Anyone else dealt with this before?

Most compressor clutches use shims to set the spacing. Just add a small shim at the hub.
