the one in my latest car is extremely smooth at 84k miles. Changes are often un-noticeable at moderate speeds. But when I had the 'box on my previous car rebuilt , the changes were quite hard and I never managed to get that fixed by the people who rebuilt it - they reckoned the rebuilt box was working at better pressures, hence the hard changes!
However, I do find it pretty easy to control changes with the throttle. Much better than the electronically-controlled gearbox on my Mercedes van, which has a mind of its own. The exception on the Saab is unwanted downchanges on the way out of corners and roundabouts under throttle, so I often go down to third manually before going in.
