I had an intermitant open in the clutch coil of my 99. Wound up replacing the
coil (well actual you can only get it as an assembly of coil and clutch). Have
you checked to see if when it's not pulling in there is a magnetic field? Just
check with a screw driver, they are quite powerful electro magnets so if it
feels weak you could have a bad connection. And yes there are shims between the
clutch drive and the compressor shaft to allow for adjusting the gap.
