Is this normal? Transmission issue

2017 GTs....3000 miles When backing out of garage in am...I’m getting a delay in engagement from gas to movement. It’s seems like when the car starts back it’s harder that it should be. Sometimes I hear an audible noise at first engagement. Some times going into drive too....the delay.
I going to see service later this week? Any thoughts.
Best Regards

FWIW: They all do that when fairly new. It seems to go away after awhile.

Enjoy your new ride.

What tune? Details please. Did the tranny do the same thing before the tune?

Mine can be a little laggy as well when cold but no noise whatsoever. 5K miles. This was before and after the Eurocharged ATX tune.

Is the really high idle speed issue when cold still there? I had hoped that it would have when the ECU had adapted to the new tune.

One aspect of a really great tune is when the car has all of the ‘driveability’ of the OEM tune, but with increased power/torque.

I only noticed this once when I parked the car outside one night and it got down to 30 degree overnight. Was a little terrified I had broken something at first.

A tune typically minimizes throttle lag moving from 'park'. I had a similar observation when trying to back out of my garage. It felt like the car was a true manual, responding to a slow clutch pedal. 'Manual feel' is probably one of the more endearing attributes of the double-clutch tranny but not always. A tune should clear that up.
