Hey guys, sorry if this post hasnt been done correctly (Im new). My ute does the exact same. The change from first to second in manuel mode is real shotty. Has done since the day I bought it. When I took the car in for its first service I spoke to the machinic about it and he said they "all" do it. He told me he took the managers typhoon for a test drive with the 6sp auto trans and it did the exact same. Im pritty p*ssed about it too as I think it shouldnt change gear like that. Everything else about the car is sweet though.
