They shift smoothly, but mine at least always felt like you were forcing stuff if you were to quick on the shifts certainly 1st to 2nd and into reverse, but it always much nicer when warm, maybe that was just mine, the original clutch was on its last legs and the temp donor engine had a suspicious looking clutch on it, could well have needed the bushes replaced on the shifter/ clutch dragging or something was worn.

Could also be just felt very different to the typical FWD cable linkage gearbox been used to, a much more mechanical direct feel. The only other RWD driven before that was a Navara 7 or so years before i got the 940, guess it depends a lot on what you are used to driving, certainly feel more refined, smoother and faster shifting that some of Ford and British Leylands offerings from years gone by.
