Hesitation in the morning ONLY the first time I put in Drive

I only get it when the car sits over night or at the end of the day after working 9 hours. The strange thing is it dosn't knock when it engauges and it only happens here and there and the car shifts and driver flawlessly otherwise. I have to rev the engine then it engages. I did a search and found some people say that the dealer reprogrammed the EGS Control Unit and fixed the problem. Another said somethin about having an o-ring change do to lose of pressure? Any of you guys have this?

What fluid did you use? Did you drop the pan, or just drain and fill?

Mine did this also, but I did a transmission reset (I think that's what they call it) and it went away for a few months. Now it's back. No other symptoms.

Hmm,i didn't have any error codes :-) So i think ur story is different,better go dealer for help. as hesistation in morning,not a very good sign. hopefully software issue,but could be an early warning transmission sign. Good luck.

I didn't do it myslef. I just went to dealer,they checked fluid and said it is pretty dirty so was causing fludi go slow to some places so was delays because of that,so recommended replacing fluid. I doubt they removed pan and changed filter,as i paid only 200$,so i guess they just changed fluid. But it definetely shifts much better(not great sometimes),but it has delays at all after that.
