Default transmission clunk

auto transmission clunks when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Dealer checked and redid the apps and said that he thought two couplings were too far apart. I have been driving in paddle mode to avoid 1st gear. I would think there might be a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated.

Care to explain exactly what "redid the apps and said that he thought two couplings were too far apart" means?

You need to talk to the dealer again because nobody here will be able to help with the information (or lack thereof) that you provided.
