2. I agree with the no deathgrip statement above. It is weird, but after a few weeks of driving (its not my daily driver), I just kind of noticed the gear box "pulling" it into the correct gears on shifts. Make sure you become familiar with the feeling.
3. I followed one more piece of advice for "training purposes". When shifting 1-2 put your hand lightly on the right side of the shifter, when 3-4 put your hand on top, and 5-6 put your hand on the left side. Eventually you'll stop doing it to an extreme, but it will help keep you from mis shifts.

When in doubt, keep your hand on top of the shifter, wrapping around the right side is a bad habit and an invitation to disaster. My added tip would be, get your elbow between the seats, not tucked in to your side. This gets you working at the same angle the tranny is set up, fore-to-aft.
