Even in the auto mode it shifts slower.

Transmission oil also has to warm up, again benefits from a bit of work.
My own car, the first couple of changes can be less smooth, if I don't allow a few extra seconds before moving off, when the temperature is low, (~0C). I have the benefit of driving up a lane for about 1/4 mile before the highway. The gearbox is silky smooth by the time I pull onto the highway, even at low winter temperatures.
