This is/was exactly my situation...
except I also occasionally had hard shifts 2nd to 3rd as well.
Definitely worth checking that your shaft sensors are working correctly at your next service (or before)

Correct.. It's a manual gearbox with a robot pressing the clutch pedal(s) and moving the gear lever. There is no torque converter like a traditional automatic.
In my case, the robot is worse than a learner driver 1 out of every 10 drives.
