Bad noise when clutch is disengaged! Help

I sure appreciate the input folks. So the wear on the pressure plate looks excessive? If it were something in the trans, why didn't it make noise while just the trans was bolted up? I realize that without the cross member in place (we just had a floor jack supporting the trans with the 4 trans bolts tight) the trans probably wasn't in it's exact normal position but, you would think that that alignment would not have changed enough to cause the difference in noise. Also if I would have had a noise from the git go then I would understand the zbar and adjustment rod being not aligned perfectly causing the issue. But it was that way for a year and about 700 miles. Also the rev all of a sudden working when it was a pain to get into before has me baffled. I may just save up the money and install a hydraulic T.O. bearing setup... Pulled on the crank pulley, got no perceptible movement.
