Arrow tcm adaptation cycle gear 1 - 2 ?

I'm regularly driving the adaptation cycle in SDD to keep my gearbox smooth.
Now I changed the gearbox-filter, so the cycle will come next.

Driving the cycle, I have much difficulty to do the 1-2 transition.
The switch occurs that fast, so I have no chance to steer the rpms.

How do you do the 1-2 switch on a adaptation cycle ?

Transmission needs to be at least 50C. Find a neighborhood with long streets, and little traffic. Come to a complete stop. The torque must be between the min and max settings (in the green) and you will have to do numerous stops. A gentle roll-in on the pedal is required. Don't move on to 2-3 until 1-2 is complete. Yes, you will have to practice, and yes, you will have to stop numerous times. If 1-2 is missed, and you don't get a green check, stop, try again.

I typically drive until I get above 50°, then I start with those 3-4 and coasting from 6 to stop.. then I search for a road, where 1-2 is possible. (e.g. parking lot.)
Sometimes it takes 20min to get the 1-2 clean.
The problem is, that on one hand I have to carefully touch the gas pedal to get the right torque, but the sudden acceleration of the car also accelerates my foot on the pedal.
