I noticed the shifts are smooth if I drive it hard and shift quickly. Unfortunately can't drive that way all time .
Avoid the 1-3 or 1-4 (2nd gear lockout) by staying in 1st gear at least until 20 mph. The subsequent shift to 2nd will be smooth. Take it easy in 1st gear in normal traffic and focus on being smooth. You'll quickly be rewarded.

I like to play a game whereby my shift points are imperceptible to a person in the passenger seat. Smooth driving is an art form in my experience and opinion, inspired by great F1 racer Jackie Stewart.
