I Believe the video states reverse and second are on the same shaft so the car starts in 2nd and then downshifts to 1st when underway. Best.

No, the video has it correct at approx. minute 2:18. All S-tronic variants have the odd gears + reverse on the inner shaft and even gears on the outer shaft. If first and reverse were on different shafts then there wouldn't be a delay as the transmission could preselect first and reverse.

Hey guys - did a search on this and couldn't find anything. I noticed that when I accelerate from a stop, the car hesitates as if there's a more traditional automatic tranny gear shift. I thought that was odd, so I shifted into manual and noticed that it occurs even if I hold the gear in M1.
Only happens in first gear and from a stop. Anyone have this problem? I bought the car used and had the 15k mile check up done, so I don't know if this was something that's always happened or after the check up.
Any insight would be appreciated!

OP:
I believe this video answers your question. For the Audi S-Tronic dual clutch transmission, when the car is in Park the computer has no idea whether you are going to go forwards or backwards so it preselects Reverse and 2nd gear. Why? Because second grear is on the same shaft as Reverse. So if you go forward it takes about a second to downshift to first.
the video also describes how to accelerate from first and downshift.
Does this answer your question?

OP is experiencing the delay from a stop when the DSG is already in D/M mode. With the DSG already in D/M, the two gears selected are 1st and 2nd with Reverse gear not being a factor since it is not engaged at all.

The video is about DSG shifting from Park to Drive and how it pre-selects the Reverse and 2nd gear when it is in Park.

Yes, before I shift. Its odd. Per a previous post in this thread, it doesn't happen when I push it in 1st gear or if I just smoothly engage 1st. Looks like it warrants a visit to the dealership....
