transmission delay

It may be normal but wanted to see if everyone else's did this. When I put it in drive it just sits there. I have to hit the gas and then it jumps into gear a second or two later. Seems to only do it forward and seems worse when its cold. Dont really notice it happen when its hot. When a car does this it is usually low on fluid but my oil level is perfect.

I believe the manual suggests that the engine should be warmed up at idle until the engine coolant temperature registers one bar on the display. I believe the hesitation is due to the higher hydraulic oil viscosity at cold temperature.

Ya, Its normal when cold. The Rincon was the same way. Get in the habit of letting it warm up just a bit before hitting the gas.
If cold I would say like 3-4 mins. If warm 30 seconds. if fairly hot just don't punch it right off the bat.
