...in addition to a "slush-o-matic" converter, the 6T40 also uses "dual-clutch" engagement control.
...it actually slips the tranny into NEUTRAL when you're stopped, then re-engages when you take your foot off the brake pedal and depress the accelerator.
...which produces two interesting idiosynchracies: (1) the car tends to roll foreward or backward if you stopped on a hill and (2) there's a noticeable hesitation/then slight lurch as the clutch re-engages upon take-off.
...and, YES, it's unnerving to new owners at first!
