The manual is deliberately close-ratio: ~3.8:1 1st and ~2.3:1 2nd.
The automatic ratios, otoh, are significantly different: ~4.9:1 1st and ~3.1:1 2nd.

Wow, all of your posts mirror what I feel. I guess I have to work on my shifts and live with the 1st gear screaming starts. As I mentioned it just seems like the car wants a slow shift 1st to 2nd but with a bit of gas / clutch modulation you can get smooth shifts. Thank you all, I am learning a lot on this forum !!!
