Transmission question
I have a 22 C8 with about 8000 miles. All the trans maintenance has been done at the appropriate time or milage intervals (fluid change and filter replacement). However I seem to notice when idling out of my garage, as I ease out then give it a little gas, it seems to rev a little before it fully grabs. Kind of like my childhood go-kart with a centrifugal clutch. I do not recall feeling this sensation previously, it seems new or more pronounced if not noticed before. It seems to function fine while driving and all else seems fine. Is this normal?

It is curious that this is happening to low mileage 2022 C8s. I believe I have seen other low mileage 2022 DCT issues popping up recently.

Don't believe you have any issues with your DCT.
This transmission operates best at regular temperatures and and can be not as smooth when cold. The Tremac DCT also operates more consistently when frequently used.
