seems like its for automatic drivers only so far though

Check ECU codes!
First thing to do when odd problems happen.

That means you have
2 ECUs to check then. Engine & tip ECU.

If some reason the ECU has been reset it will drop any codes it had stored, you'll need to replicate the problem & try & check as soon as possible to when it happened.
If there are no codes full stop, then more than likely the problem is mechanical & not electrical / sensor related.

torque convertor!
When you let off the brake at a set of lights your car does not go slowly forward any anymore does it??
Check the oil, black oil????
