Icon4 99 civic b20 swap

hey guys i just swapped a b20v in my hatch, replaced flywheel,pilot bearing, throw out bearing ecttttt. long story short everything sounds fine going in gear/ shifting gears but whenever i get above 10 mph i hear a dragging noise like plastic dragging under car.. sounds like its coming from bell housing. The clutch grabs fine and everything sounds normal just when i accelerate that noise gets louder and louder. its almost like the throw out bearing isn't fully disengaging idkkkkk

What do you mean the pressure plate is rubbing the clutch housing? I torqued everything to spec.

Well, put it up on jackstands, engage the rear e-brake and test it again while its in the air. Have someone locate the sound.

Does it correlate with road speed or engine RPM?

I'm gonna say road speed but seems like higher rpm it isn't as bad. Idk to be honest cause I turned it around and parked it. But I did seem to get louder with road speed

I wish lol but I'm afraid it's either low on trans fluid or output shaft bearing 😒 but I swear it sounds like the throwout bearing is not disengaging but I have messed with the car, just trying to get ideas so I can start somewhere

did you test drive this swap before putting it in your car? your OP made it sound like it happened after you swapped out the clutch...
