Notchy 2nd gear after cold start?

Interesting that its only 2nd gear though. Obviously any transmission works optimally at proper operating temps but by that logic all/most gears would be notchy after cold start. However, every other gear is butter smooth after cold start except 2nd.

As CCCLXXZ mentioned I guess we can just chalk this up as characteristic of this 6spd trans

Not necessarily...The ratios are different naturally, and the friction need to spin the next gears up to speed vary. This is VERY common over on the Corvette forum even with the new gearbox.. Always second gear. Many gearboxes designed to take relatively large applications of power seem to have this characteristic..I'd say perfectly normal.

Right or Wrong...this is a good answer and that is appreciated.....
