I've found that if you hit the right paddle once just after you've shifted into D, it'll be much smoother. These AT cars start off in second nicely; great in snow. Let the trans go back into D by staying off the hammer (you should do that when it's cold anyway) or shift through.
If the car has been sitting for a long time, it'll be jerky even when it's warm out.
Good thing it's only on first-time start-up. Otherwise I'd think something IS wrong with the tranny.
