Makes me wonder if you caught a little air in the system when you did the tranny. It may need to be bled and sometimes it is tricky getting that last air bubble out (though I honestly haven't had that problem yet).

Also check to be sure that the horseshoe clips are on completely and correctly (sometimes they get put on crooked). And look at the bushings on the tranny to see if they are sloppy.

Plus the clutch will feel lighter than stock (as you noticed). Normal.
