Default New tranny & clutch...totally different car!!!

I got a new transmission and clutch due to a horrible 2nd to 3rd gear grind. My car has 27K miles on it. Anyway, i picked it up from the dealership yesterday and what a difference!! Im having to learn how to drive it all over again. My car has never driven like it does now...the tranny is crisp with no lever play whatsoever. Im having trouble keeping the thing from barking 2nd and 3rd with the new clutch and that is without even coming close to redlining. It wasnt like this when it was new!! I thought it was quick before but damn.

They did it in one day. I dropped it off at 8:00 AM and they called around 3:00 and said it was ready. I havent noticed first gear being more whiney, but i'll listen for it the next time i drive it. I just cant get over how hard this clutch bites.
