hey porkchop
I dont think you should worry too too much about tranny slippage with only 112km on it - unless you can actually detect any. When i first got my car i also thot the tranny was a bit rough and jerky but you get used to it and in a few weeks ur gf should have no problem.

im new here also but one thing u might check is if she is in C or S mode. c is said to be comfort and s for sport. im not sure if it changes shift points but i know that it starts the car off in 1st when in s and 2nd when in c.
