Power loss after replacing clutch/flywheel?

(1/1)

hcmzah:
Hi all, my mk5 gti's clutch started to slip recently (144k miles) so I've got the clutch and flywheel replaced. I've bought the parts from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235644487776

After the replacement, the car feels a lot less torquey in the low rpms, less responsive and rev hangs slightly.

I did pay just under £400 for the clutch kit and flywheel which i thought was super low, but i was reassured everything would be fine as the seller is a big company, and the description says it'll fit mk5 gti.

Is this normal for a new clutch/flywheel? I've driven about 300 miles since the replacement. Maybe the new parts just handles the torque better? BTW car is stock.

Please share your opinions, thank you!
