I concur about shifting slowly--or deliberately. Let the synchros work. Keep your mind on the shifting. I try to stay above 2000 rpm in 4th and 5th, and work the engine to 4000 rpm in 1st and 2nd around town. That gives the engine some exercise without having to speed above 45 mph. That's important if you don't drive much.

Downshifting from 5th to 4th is difficult, going 5th to 3rd is easier.
Advice from my mechanic, also an SC owner.
