like if the clutch is very worn dose that mean it will some time ride and not make the super charger work hard or not work at all

i honestly don't know as not that many people have enough miles on their cars yet. in my experience, as my s/c clutch became more worn, the engagement became more abrupt. the bearing went out and the assembly was replaced before i got a chance to see just how far the clutch would go (mb insisted upon replacing the entire $800 assembly under warranty instead of the $15 bearing!?!?).

Are you referring to the bearing inside the actual S/C pulley? I was under the impression that bearing was not able to be replaced.
I've also been curious if the clutch was able to be turned? Probably a dumb question but meh. Also, when they replaced your clutch assy, did they replace the pulley/clutch piece along with the other mating end on the S/C side?

i have no idea if the clutch can be turned and i don't know exactly what all is included with the s/c clutch assembly. they replaced it under warranty so i didn't ask any questions.
