Default Dead spot in manual transmission?

Question. This may be a "feature" of the clutch based on some other posts I have read, but I am not sure. 2, 3 and 4 seem to engage and then, hit a very small dead spot before accepting full throttle. Not WOT mind you, just moderately agressive throttle. It seems more pronounced when cold, but still apparent when warm. It is small; you have to look for it, but it is there. So I want to know, is this a known entity, or should I be heading back to the stealership?

My car does the same, so normal? I don't notice it much after the engine is fully warmed up, or when I put the car in Sport+ mode.

it is part of the driving mode strategy. throttle response is altered. choose wet/snow and it is worse. put it in track or sport and it gets much better.

I don't think it is related to drive modes. It feels like a bad TPS or something.
