This.... If it is any worse you may something wrong with your box.

Yeah, I'm not talking about a massive difference.
You're right, the time between auto to manual is probably spot on the same, simply because you have no clutch and H pattern that you're more aware of the time it takes.
Seriously, 0.6sec ??? That's a bloody long time for a shift if you're trying to shift it quickly. Granted during normal day to day driving, a manual driver shifting can even take one second plus but when driving properly, 0.6sec is pathetic.
edit - not to mention that the FTO manual box shifts very nicely and i never had any issues shifting it *really* quick.

and how new would the average fto gearbox be these days.
honestly, I reckon I could count a whole second on our box, and that was no difference with the other FTOs I've driven.
I got a 4 speed as well and second definitely gets over 120km/h. If I'm on a "race track" going 120km/h in 4th if shifts into second if I floor it with rpm to spare.
Just did a calc and the FTO second gear has a theoretical limit of roughly 135km/h.

agreed I used to shift around 130 when mine was tip
