Trans question!

New owner! 507 edition with 34k miles on it. The trans is fine but do these transmissions have a small delay when shifting from park to drive, reverse etc? It shifts great and performs well. I don't really like though how it shifts in s+ mode as the transmission downshifts like a manuel when letting off the throttle and shifts close to red line... i guess this is normal though as in this mode it is meant for "racing"? Thanks in advance.

my 507 has been pretty good, my 2013 had a big lag sometimes going from reverse to drive when cold - 507 is less so - also had a tune on the 2013 that seemed to affect it over the stock tune, but may have been unrelated.

I think the clutch packs are just disengaged. It's normal, just pull away slowly after putting into gear or engine will rev and surprise the **** out of you

Thank God someone brought this up.

I've been thinking my transmission has been acting up. I only recently started experiencing this because I live in sunny SoCal and my car was always garaged except for the last few months so I guess the cold seems to be affecting that.
