I have a 2002 Honda civic that makes a scraping/dragging noise while the car is in gear. The noise isn't there when I press the clutch down or coast in neutral(Just to test it). It almost feels like something underneath the car is dragging it and the car slows down as if it was catching on something. I've noticed this in first through third gear. This car has been in a crash and the back left door is banged up as well as the bumper around the front of the back left wheel. I've recently had the breaks replaced and a Honda Mechanic told me that the tie rod and ball joint boots were torn as well as the low control arm bushing. What do you think could be causing this?


Edit: The noise doesn't seem to be there or at least the dragging seems to be gone when I press the gas.

 

Release bearing in the transmission?
