First of all I drive a Nissan 350z an '03.....

I've been having problems with the belts for a long time and tired of the same thing happenning pretty much///...

My AC belt keeps breaking or being shreded and sometimes it even takes out the alternator belt too....

I don't think it is a " not being tight enough " problem...

I also hear a click everytime I go from one gear to another in high revolutions....

Thank you so much in advance... Have a blessed day.

It sounds to me like you just need to replace both of the drive belts. Mine is also an 03, and I just replaced them 2 weeks ago. Since it is one of the easiest reapirs to do, it should not take that long at all. I found it weird that mine needed to be replaced seeing that it only has 23k on it, but never the less they did.

I also had to replace all my belts sooner than I thought necessary, but it did help out with the squealing problem I was having.

Guys thanks so much...

But my problem is that it has happened twice in a year... The Ac Belt shreddes and comes off and sometimes it takes the altenartor one with it....

So It keeps doing the same thing....

I drive fast i don't know if that's the reason why it does that...

Replace your pulleysPart Numbers 11925-AL50A11925-AG30A

Being too loose won't cause them to shred. Being incorrectly installed will.

Check / fix your pulleys and then find some Power Enterprise belts.
