I'm hesitant to comment beyond what I have so far because it's been
so long but what always worked for me was to apply light pressure against
the shift lever and lift my foot from the throttle in a controlled fashion.
You'll feel the pressure come off of the gear lever and it will want to come 
out of
gear.  When it does pull it into neutral and again apply light pressure to 
the next gear
position and slowly adjust the throttle until you feel it want to go in 
gear.

That's the way I remember it.

Cecil,
     My 3406 comes off the rpm too quick for easy shifting, also.  It is
a technique to not lift all the way to make the shift.  I am usually
unsuccessful at it and unload with the clutch to get out of the current
gear.
     Nothing quite like 50 plus years of experience and missing shifts
looking like an amateur, is there?
