2021 Mazda CX-5 — delayed engagement into Drive when cold

After sitting overnight, shifting from Park to Drive can take a second or two before the vehicle actually engages. Once warm it behaves normally. Would you start with fluid, adaptation data, mounts or something mechanical?

If it were in my driveway, a pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2021 Mazda CX-5 is losing coolant with no puddle. That's the branch I'd chase this week. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. Checking again after work.
