Clutch/Drive train noise?

This is an odd one, had my clutch changed last Thursday, on driving it back i noticed a bit odd a rubbing noise, didn't think too much of it at the time, as it could easily be a disc shroud been knocked when it was on the ramp, or even one of my pads getting low, anyway i haven't used the car until today, and after a short drive i could hear this rubbing getting worse, checked the already mentioned things, which where OK, it only does it when moving, and then usually worse on engine breaking, i even tried decluching on over run and at one point got even more noise:( now after a bit more of a drive it seemed to get slightly better!

Its got to be drive train related, so i jacked it up and popped off a clutch inspection cover and ran the engine, nothing looks amiss and no noise, even when using the clutch, so i jacked up the back end and put it on axle stands, and run the engine with car in gear, still no noise??> its only when under decelerating load and still there but a lot quieter just cruising>

This has got me totally baffled, I'm thinking maybe drive shaft, as this is the only other thing removed.

 

Any input welcome, and yes it going back to who changed the clutch, but they are people i generally trust.

Overwhelmed by the flood of helpful input:rolleyes:

just thought nobody in particular would like to know that i bunged it on the garages ramp that did the clutch and after a little investigation it turns out that some dozy plonker put the centre prop shaft bearing heat shield on the wrong way around, but then it does look like it fits either way, just that one way its a little to close to the prop shaft, and as the prop moves with acceleration/deceleration, hence the scraping.

Glad you got it all sorted Dick - Serves you right for not fitting the clutch yourself :p:d

 

LOL, I'm afraid the thought of lying under the car struggling with that lump of a gear box, prompted me to cough up the cash and get someone else to do it;)

the same guy did my oil pump, one of the few people i would trust with my car, don't blame him, easy mistake to make, but i suspect that his co worker probably put it back on after he had taken it off.

at least it wasn't anything major:)
