SE-5 transmission question

2013 RT Semi Auto Transmission.

When i first start off sometime i will coast down my driveway before actually trying to shift into first gear, i have to stop and then shift in order to be in first gear, is that normal? apparently it does not like to go from coasting to first gear. Any thoughts? :dontknow:

Try holding the shift button in or double tapping ?

I noticed this on my ST this weekend, happened to be coasting slowly and it wouldn't go into gear until I stopped. I'll check my manual but I'm thinking it's a safety thing...

I coast to the street too. But, backwards :roflblack:

Bet it's a safety thing :dontknow: tho.

Joe, it will only shift from neutral to 1st or reverse when your stopped or almost stopped.

I do this all the time. However, once you exceed 1 or 2 MPH, it will not go into gear. Done at 1 MPH it really cuts down on the clunk when going into gear.
