I have a noise coming from the clutch area. When I push on clutch just a little noises gose away. I ajusted push rod thinking this would stop noise but it did nothing. Can any one help have a long ride up state to car show may 19th.

Sounds like the throwout bearing. Depending on how bad the noise is, it should be fine driving up-state as long as you're not sitting in stop and go traffic riding the clutch the whole time.

I'm sure others will chime in with more scientific analysis for you.

Yes, it's your throwout bearing.
Just spray a bunch of WD40 in the access hole and you'll be fine.
Just kidding
Garth's comments are correct.

I had a spring fall out of the clutch assy, similar scenario. Not a small job, not high tech. Take your time and can be easily done.

Allow 1 day to disassemble , 1-2 days for your local clutch guy to re-insert a clutch bearing in the holder, have him inspect your clutch and flywheel at the same time. Then 1 day to re-assemble everything.

Check the free play at the slave cylinder. You should have a little over .100" clearance between the end of the stop screw and the bracket.

Did they replace the pilot bushing in the crank?
