[QUOTE="jcrouch, post: 219185, member: 4763"] My '07 does that also. It has 1100 miles. I'm convinced it's sticky clutch plates. When it's cold, work the clutch handle a couple times while warming up, then blip the throttle pretty good. You'll feel it release. Then it will snick into 1st gear pretty nicely. When coming up to a stop, pull in the clutch and blip the throttle. You feel it let go. Once warmed up it's fine. I'm hoping they will improve over time. If you hear different from your dealer regarding a warranty remedy, I'll be real interested also. [/QUOTE]
