The good news is that a brake pad change is easy and new brake pads are cheap. Just to be safe, I would replace the pads and spray the whole system with brake cleaner.
You'll find that synthetic oil greatly smooths out your shifting issues. It's really a big difference.
As far as being hot goes, you'll just have to get used to it. You know get to spend some time in the great outdoors. You're not in your airconitioned car anymore. If you wear a riding jacket, you'll find that the protection that the jacket gives you from the sun makes the ride much more pleasant.
You'll probably want a perforated leather or mesh jacket, so you'll have some cooling.
