The car shifted to 2nd around 13MPH (when I let off a bit on the gas), then to 3rd around 22, to 4th around 35, 5th around 50 and 6th at 60 after I had leveled off my speed for a few seconds.

On my way back, I did the same but didn't depress the accelerator as much at launch. I counted 4 shifts, around the same shifting points as before with the exception of 1st to 2nd (meaning my tranny started in 2nd gear).

Exactly.
