No... There's that algorithm input feature in auto mode. If your daily input is smooth easy acceleration in gears 1 & 2. The ecu will send smooth transmission shifts in auto mode. In manual mode, that algorithm feature is not in effect. Your throttle input is everything and the ecu is waiting for you to manually change the gears without the algorithm interference.
Now. I talk about 1-4 gearing because the auto's launch gear is 1 power gears are 2-3-4. 5 is the drive gear and 6-7 are overdrives. 2-3-4 are aggressive feeling. 5 6 7 aren't
There is some jerkiness in the first couple gears in the auto manual mode. but I think it gives the car personality. That's just me though.
