WTB: Used but Good Working Supercharger (C32)
Hi all,
My supercharger decided to kick the bucket, specifically, the bearing that's under the electromagnetic clutch went bad and was making a horrible noise (not the bearing on the nose of the supercharger where the pulley sits - I changed that one, no difference made). Tried taking it apart... that didn't work too well - now I see why nobody works on these, R&R!
I am looking to buy a low mile secondhand supercharger, shipped to 90717. Please pm me with pics of your supercharger and how many miles are on it, and your asking price.
Thanks!

I do understand that you changed the pulley bearing?
But did you checked if the pulley clutch plate has no play/rattle?
This is th main cause of supercharger bad noises
I personally never heard of bad shaft bearings!
Well if it's without oil it's whole different story

Not quite the same problem I've had. Although, when I did change the oil on it, hardly any factory oil came out. Filled it up with fresh fluid, drove it for a while and then I had the noise problem.
