Premiere CS4 24p Native Footage Problems

What's the best way to work with the AVCHD 24p Native footage from the GH13 in Premiere Pro CS4? Maybe some haven't tried it, but if I use the 24p AVCHD preset, the frame rate is set at 23.97, however the GH13 shoots at 23.91.

When I'm editing in the timeline, I keep getting tiny gaps between clips every now and then. Also, if I do not turn frame blend off for every single clip, I get a lot for frame blending ghosting on export.

So, my process right now is to edit, go in and find all the gaps and usually I can close them by grabbing the ends of the clips and extending them the .1 frame.

Then select the clips and turn frame blending off.

I export at 23.97 fps and I don't see anything wrong, but I know that there are duplicate frames every now and then because of the differing frame rates.

Should I reinterpret the footage as 23.97? Any other tips?
