What he said^^^^^
Like everyone else, if I manually shift from 2nd into 1st at around 10 MPH while coming to a complete stop, the car surges a little bit. When I let the trans shift itself, I don't feel it nearly as much. This is exactly why I seldom manually shift into 1st gear.
IMHO, the only circumstance I could see it being necessary to shift from 2nd into 1st is if you're cruising at like 15-20 MPH in 2nd gear, and want to accelerate quickly, in which case, the car handles it perfectly and doesn't surge at all.
