Vespa GTS noise in transmission

And also It's making the noise when pushing it with engine off and it's real hard to push. Any ideas what it could be as nearest dealer is an hour away?

I totally agree, the thing needs to be taken part and inspected. dealers are not prefect by no means and could have installed the wrong belt, not got the belt deep enough in the clutch before putting the belt on the various, thus holding the outer plate off instead of being fully seated. could have screwed up the various ramp plate slides and have a roller twisted.
failed to install washers properly and got the outer cover too tight on the clutch shaft?

lots of things to be not right.

Might be a swingarm bearing or clutch cover bearing. You say it is there with engine off while pushing it....?
