+1 I've done 6th to 4th a few times on the highway. 4th to 2nd sometimes when exiting the highway. etc etc.

The transmission is definitely a bit rough and notchy. It'll get better over time. Not sure if fluid change helps or not, I changed to Motul around 4k miles and I think it helped. A heavy shift knob also makes it feel better.
