Like jm says, don't start in 1st, unless you're off road or on a steep hill and heavily loaded. On the road you should be able to stay out of the bottom three. In the lower gears don't take the rpms too high, especially empty. Each gear take it further. Feed the throttle in easy. The more power it's under, the harder it will be to pull it out of gear. It'll shift easiest if it's coasting. Also, if you're using the clutch, you don't need to push it all the way, especially if the clutch brake is in good condition. Otherwise the clutch brake will quickly be toast. One of the biggest mistakes many people make is to push the pedal down to where the clutch brake is starting to engage. Only push the clutch all the way down when you want to engage a gear after idling in neutral. Basically, you just want a little pressure on the pedal and begin to disengage the clutch on shifting. As soon as the driveline pressure is relieved a bit the shifter will move real easy. Going down, skip shifting is easiest, unless you're slowing down real slowly and have lots of time, especially at slower speeds and lower gears. Most of your gears are shifted below 30mph. That engine makes it's max torque around 12/1300 rpm and probably drops 5/600 rpm per shift so don't get carried away taking it to the max. If the engine is tired, then you'll have to push it higher. Relax and take your time and it'll work fine.
