Default 06 Vette Automatic Trans Lag?

Hey guys, I have an 06 automatic coupe with 64k miles that takes took much time when going from Park to Drive, then clunks in. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks...

I believe there is a TSB about the slow shift into Drive (sometimes called a Garage Shift), and some other shifting issues. The fix was not easy, if you really had the problem.

How's the fluid level and condition? That's an easy first place to start.

Drain / drop pan / install new filter / clean pan / inspect gasket / refill. Dirty oil and high temps degrade transmission performance. I do the above every 30K miles.
