hard bump on pull out
I pull up to my garage door (driveway slopes upward), put it in Park to allow my passenger to get out. Then when I put it in gear, I'm often met with a hard "bump" before the car starts inching forward. Other than this, I have no beef with the DCT. Is this bump a characteristic of this trans?

Although your manual describes the feature, it fails to tell you about the "bump", but everyone has it.

My issue occurs when just leaving a location like a parking spot or pulling away from a gas pump at 1-2 mph , then letting of the pedal completely. The clunk happens when reapplying the throttle.

Yeah....I think that's a different issue, if you are still coasting. The hill hold feature (which think was the OP issue, and normal) will only engage when the car is at a full stop. After its moving forward it wont engage. But still an issue. I rarely if ever get any unexpected clunks.

When that Ebrake locks, it takes a little bit of movement to release it. It surprises me sometimes when I don't realize it is set, and then it is a little jerky when it releases.
I always remind myself; this is a manual transmission, there is no torque convertor to cushion every move. That kind of explains everything.
That's why it feels so fast when you floor it.
