Clutch replaced, Dragging sound over 50mph
 

Im new to this forum but Ive owned a Frs for over 2 years now. I replaced the clutch over the weekend, currently at 55k. Throw out bearing was complete shit. The problem im having right now is some type of dragging sound only when i go above 50mph (sounds like im dragging something under the car). Nothing else seems wrong. No grinding sound in idle/ or when shifting. Shifts perfectly fine & accelerates fine as well. Seems like the clutch is engaging/disengaging correctly. Currently in the break in process for the clutch. Any ideas on what the sound might be? Will post a video of sound soon.

Hello LeosFRS and welcome to our forum ...... :clap:

Maybe, just maybe, when you get up to speed, a piece of one of the underside or wheel well plastic shields is fluttering and dragging on the ground or rubbing against a tire.

Welp, that's my guess ......:iono:

I removed the fiberglass underside and kept the aluminum guard but nothing else is loose. That's the same thing i thought of. Even pulled over to see if I was dragging something when I heard the sound but nothing..

Here is the video of the sound

Didnyou ever find out what was wrong? I'm currently having the same issues

Sounds like heat shield being pushed down onto driveshaft
