in the AT I've learned that for the best launch, you throttle up more slowly through 1st, then punch it when it shifts to second...

trying to punch it in first does not give the power you really want or can get - it seems to have some issue with this first to second transition.

not sure how it's related... but maybe interesting

I've noticed this as well on the MT.

Try shifting slowly with the VDC off from 1st to second as well....see if you notice a difference...
