Yes. Maybe "rougher" is the wrong term -- I suppose I mean that if you are driving the car in a spirited manner, you tend to shift a bit less smoothly than the ECU might be programmed to operate the trans (i.e., stay in a given gear longer than the ECU would have). It adapts it's shift schedule to your driving habits, so it may seem to shift less smoothly than one might get used to in ato after driving around in manual mode.
