Default Problem with 1st and 2nd gear shift

Is that only me or it is common to anybody else that when driving in low speed and low rpm, the gear shift isn't smooth. It will have a noticeable delay as if it is out of power for a while.
BTW, my car is a 2017 grand sport and it's 8-speed auto.

I have a 17 GS A8 as well. The 1/2 shift, especially at low RPM, should be smooth as butter when on steady throttle. I had issues with mine and had them re-flash the TCM and perform the Service Fast Learn procedure. The trans also has adaptive learning and can re-learn the clutches for abnormal shifts. My A8 is perfect now.

PM me if you want a pdf explaining the adaptive learn procedure.

All you guys have to do is drive about 19mph to get the "smooth" back. Look on the DIC-you'll see a message on there.
