Default Auto transmission problem

The paddle shift transmission is a wonderful addition to my 2006 Corvette. I have one problem; when you first pull out of the garage in the morning, shift to drive, the first time the transmission up-shifts, the car nose dives. The transmission acts like it shifts at too low an RPM and just plain stumbles. When the transmission warms up, its fine. My dealer is clueless. Any help out there?

I haven't seen a condition like you are describing but I have to wonder if you are stating the problem correctly.?.? Anyway, there is a TSB for the A6 but applies "primarily" to the early '08's but earlier years are not necessarily excluded. Check this thread especially post #27 which has the TSB:

And this thread is a member reporting after he had his '08 repaired under the TSB:

Good luck. Let us know what happens.
