The improved feel is probably more the grease than the TOB.
You could be correct. In 40 years and 20 or so MTs I have only had to replace one clutch so have never experienced stock back to stock. Any other replacements I did I was changing the whole works to performance equipment so I expected the changes. This change was more significant that I would attribute to just new lube though. I could also be second guessing myself at this point and the change wasn't as big as it seems.
