Once the car is warmed up, even just a couple miles, it is much better. I don't have any problems with any other gears. I will be talking to the dealer about it soon.
Try this:
-From standing idle rpm double-clutch in neutral then shift into first (Useful when fluid is colder than normal operating temperature.).
-Accelerate in first, noting the indicated matching speeds and rpms at three points within the operational range. Practice your downshifts at preselected speeds and blip accelerator pedal to match the rpm previously noted. In practice, you will likely be shifting down at the higher rpm.
