all normal. clunky when cold. your trans/clutch also needs time to break in. shifting gates can be finicky since they are rather small. my shifter started feeling perfect after at least 10-15 K miles and now I have no problems shifting fast but of course I gotta wait until it warms up. compared to your corolla, modern clutches have a clutch delay valve and the shifter assembly is a bit different, it aint going to feel the same. either way, just remember they went with an aisin trans meant for low torque and high feel, refinement was not a priority on this platform.
as for downshifting, I'm not sure what you're referring to and I hope you know that ya can skip gears, I rev match from 5 to 3 often when coming off the highway..as stated above, ya probably just could use more practice
