2011 MCS A/C not working looking for a clutch

Hello everyone. Two days ago, I went to pick up my daughter in my nice cold mini. A few moments after she got in, I accused her of not putting deodorant on because there was an unusual smell in the car. Shortly after, I realized the ac was getting hotter. When I got home, I could hear a sound coming from the A/C compressor. I removed the in-cabin filter, which was filthy, and checked the fuses. I did some research and found out that the compressor clutch is often the culprit. I have searched for the clutch by itself, but I have not been able to find one. Is replacing the clutch on the R56 possible? If so, Where can I find one? I do not want to have to take this to a shop. I just had a shop quote me 2500 to replace the compressor. I was laughing and crying at the same time.
