Alastair the gear change should be quite good.
The same box in a wheeled vehicle drives nicely, once you know how to drive it. The carrier is a little harder due to its higher rolling resistance.

Richard, If it was as you say, then I suspect some damage has occurred already, possibly at the intermediate bearing, or the input shaft bearing?
Keep an eye on it.

Lynn, I would hardly say 'nice' in the way that a modern syncro gearbox is nice, but they are functional and should work fine if as you say, you follow the operating instructions for selecting gears in a non-syncro gearbox.
