You might try double clutching. Matching the engine speed seems to make the downshifts much easier as the synchros start to wear. This has worked for me on a BMW 528i and on a big Healey as the cars got older. You can delay the transmission repairs for a long, long time.
After a while, you get used to double clutching and do it without thinking.
Good luck!
Dave
