The engine rpm is not effected and the belts do not slip or squeal on the pulleys, the compressor is what seems to drag and the clutch starts to slip (not noisy). Thanks.

I have an 86 Gl-10 turbo and the air conditioning doesn't work, I flushed all the lines and no clogs, I evacuated the system and put in one 16 oz. can of R-12, the low pressure side is very high pressure (about 110 psi) and it drops slowly to about 55 psi while the compressor runs then the compressor drags and the speed sensor on the pulley notices that the clutch is slipping then shuts down the system. Is this a expansion valve problem or a compressor problem? Has anyone had to fix their A/C and what did you do? Thanks, I'm a new Subaru owner and I love it but it's hot in California.
