AC compressor clutch

My ac clutch is smoked from the compressor locking up. Does anyone know where to buy one? I cannot find it anywhere.

Not many options for sourcing AC clutch assembly unless finding a NOS assembly. Try taking your clutch and compressor to a shop specializing in HVAC work,particularly one that does ac installs and retrofits. Clutch assembly not specific to your vehicle and should be able to match it with another. Have done this many times with non Mazda vehicles with retrofit ac systems.

Saw your other thread where you rebuilt your locked up ac compressor. Don't know what you did to rebuild it,are you certain it will be 100% after a long search finding a replacement clutch assembly?Consider replacing entire compressor/w clutch.
Most come with 1 yr warranty,certainly any faults with either will show themselves within that period. If compressor failed outside of warranty,you could transfer the working clutch/bearing assly to your repaired compressor...

yes - I'll post a pic and send you a price. I got this in a bunch of GSL-SE parts. You will need to verify it will fit what you have.
