Default gear shifting

hello
i just changed the gear clutches to racing clutches
and now when the gear shifts to 2nd and 3rd and 4th each shift is very stiff
is that normal ?
the garage says its normal because racing clutches are strong
what do u think?

Why exactly did you want "racing clutches" ?
