Don't lube the clutch.A clutch can be replaced.You must determine if it is the clutch or compressor.If not familiar with air conditioning,take it to a reputable repair shop.If a compressor goes out you'll be getting into your pocket,real deep.(Black death).Get it before it gets you.Be quick .

probably just needs a shot of oil added to the charge in the system make sure you use the right type of oil r-134a uses one type and r-12 / r-414b uses mineral good luck

there is a tag in engine compartment for a\c it says amount of freon and oil charge.
but if your a\c works ok and is just noisy just go to autozone and buy a can of oil charge its 6 ozs of pressurized oil and add it to the suction side of system with a\c running (suction side fitting is on the accumulator behind battery) dave
