Throttle Lag?

Yellow,

I recently noticed my throttle response is super lagging right after I replaced my upper engine mount with the TSW mount. Before I had the TSW installed, i never noticed a lag on my throttle. Right after I got my car out of the shop from getting the TSW installed, I floored it on first and I noticed that my RPMs would go high, but my car is not going anywhere. My car would take a while for it to catch, but it still doesn't catch fully. I can go fast still on the freeway and all, but my car wont push when I step on the gas pedal more than half way. I was even on a hill and bearly made it up there because my car didnt catch anything. I dont know if this is my clutch going bad or something because im able to get out of first perfectly. Its just when I gas it to about half way or above 2,000 RPM. Does anyone know what would be wrong? Does it take a while for the TSW to wear in? Please help. I'm gonna call the shop tomorrow, but still wanted to ask the thoughtful community too. Thanks!

You are describing a slipping clutch. It may just be a coincedence that it happened right as you got the mount fixed.
