Tighter with the new springs and grabbing earlier
Not sure if you have it assembled yet. Some tips on clutch replacement.
Soak the fiber plates in oil overnight before installing so they do not glaze and last longer.
Also, stack the steel plates so the sharp edge faces inward allowing smoother and consistant release of all the plates.

Was the replacement clutch an OEM one or an aftermarket one?

Yup, and it was easy. Don't see how they can charge $1000 for it at the shop.

23,000 miles, no trailer. I purchased it used so cannot say how hard last owner was on it. It still had life in it but wanted to get it done before there was an issue when I was away from home.

Since you have a 2010 and used an aftermarket clutch kit. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to get an updated oil nozzle that would normally come with the BRP clutch kit. Also I believe is standard on 2013 and later models. Something about better clutch cooling I think.
