It didnt change as nicely as compaired to a load of other 1989/90,91 legacys I test drove.
Drual range out of a RX was nicer to use Ive found.
Intresting thing ive found is you can get a part time 4wd gbox on a legacy.

They are very very rare here
ive been a passenger in one of the d/range foresters they seem to be pretty good gear change and acceleration wise .so they might be alright ??

my bro has an 89 lib/leg wagon with d/range (i dont think he has ever used it tho) i have breifly and it was fairly smooth although i did the same upshifted straight from 2nd to 5th .
i havent seen (in person) let alone drove an rx here and ive never heard of part time 4wd box do you mean like the leones ie. fwd with 4wd lever ?

heres the wiki link for foresters it says the first gen had dual range manual option on all models bar the GT
