300ZX issues

[Bohemiangod]

My Z has been alligned and needs a camber kit for the front left camber, regardless there are still some issues.

1) My a/c belt seems to be the one squeeling on start up. I do have an aftermarket pulley set, but how would I tighten the belt to stop the annoying noise. I cant leave my neighborhood without everyone knowing. lol

2) When in3rd, 4th, and 5th gear and cruising i hear a grinding noise. Could i assume that is my clutch and I just need an adjustment?

3) I also seem to have an aftermarket ebay short throw shifter and it has trouble going into 2nd and reverse and sinks down. I can jiggle it up and down. What can I do about that to make sure it doesnt pop out like it sometimes does and the grinding noise it makes when trying to go in reverse?

All answers are highly appreciated by yours truely.

1. the ac belt squealing could just need adjusting or you could have a leak getting on it, could be coolant from the hoses on the front of the motor, or the waterpump, or thermostat housing

2. the cluthc is self adjusting and either drips or slips, if you have a noise while in gear it's likely a bearing in the transmission, and it's gonna cost you! best bet is to find a donor trans that's in good shape, and if the noise isn't bad you might just want to live with it

3. the shifter sounds like it suffers from the all too common shifter bushing failure, the dealer sells the parts and many other Z specialty shops offer kits just for this
