Leon 1.5TSI Manual Transmission - Hard to pull away quickly - Rev Hang

[OK250_]

Hi forum,
I have a 22' 1.5 TSI manual Leon and I find it hard to pull away quickly and get clean shifts.
The first gear is so short it barely gets the car moving, and you can't shift quickly into 2 as you have to wait too long for the revs to drop. When I let out the clutch in second gear the revs are still up and the car jerks around.

Every time I pull into a busy road it feels like I am holding up traffic and shifting like a newbie. Never had this with issue with the other car I drove, which was a Peugot diesel and had basically no rev hang and you could shift quickly with no issues.

This is my first "modern" car with a manual and I did not realize this on the test drive, so my fault I guess but it's getting on my nerves.

Of course there is not much to do about the short first gear, but is it possible to tune out the rev hang?

It seems like a big topic on modern Golf GTI's in other forum, but never mentioned with the 1.5 TSI.

Anyone also had this experience and knows if there is a fix to it?

1st gear is just to get the car rolling at minimum revs to improve fuel economy, I didn't enjoy the manual 1.5 due to the clutch valve arrangement, so learned to instead pull away without touching the accelerator until I got a DSG.

It's not really the car to be drag racing in, so I doubt there is a remap available for such.

Not familiar with this car and tranmission, but sometimes a faulty clutch pedal switch can cause rev hang on gear changes,
