There are some tips buried in this thread:

One was to shift at 2500 RPM or less, which works when you are casually tooling around. When accelerating more aggressively and up into higher RPMs, that is where I find it more difficult. Some tips there were to get into the gas harder before releasing the clutch, and also releasing the clutch more gradually. Both notions seem to help. But still, it shouldn't be this hard.

I am looking forward to seeing how it is after the CDV Delete.
