I find that if the gearbox is cold, I have to double clutch downshift from 3 to 2, otherwise 2nd gear will be very hard to engage. Once it warms up then rev-matching or heel and toe from 3 to 2 works fine. Upshifts seem to be fine for all gears when cold, I don't beat on my car (4k rpm max) until the temp is nominal.
I also might get flame for this but running Eneos Gear Oil / Subaru Extra-S GL-5 gives you much better quality 1st and 2nd gear shifts (new generation of GL-5 oil don't eat into yellow metal).
Also if your vehicle speed is very slow, just double clutch it from 3 to 2 so that you can build up enough revs for 2nd gear.
My HVAC is always on Auto, if it's on Full Auto (A/C on) then I tend to release my clutch slower when driving to ensure smoothness.

Yeah, im not very familiar with double clutch and i haven't try the hill and toe method yet.
I havent really used my AC yet. Do you really feel a different when the AC is on while shifting gears?
