1st gear: Pause for 1-2 seconds with the clutch pressed in. This allows for the input shaft on the transmission to stop spinning(and match the wheels which are also not spinning).
1st to 2nd shift: Maintain a constant RPM for 1-2 seconds before pressing in the clutch. Not sure why this works, but it does. Basically keep the accelerator pedal steady.
These transmissions perform very badly when cold, but the above tricks make it tolerable until it warms up.

There is no magic bullet fluid to change it. You will get used to it.
The big thing is that unlike the Honda or other FWD trannies your shifter is directly hooked up to the gear change lever. FWD use a bunch of lever, cables and linkages which all have a little give that absorbs the "notchy" feel people get. That little resistance is just an indicator of a close tolerance tranny and although it feels weird at first you soon learn the tricks.
