Sounds like you have a problem, as from my experience the gear shift on the the Getrag is anything but sloppy, being stiffer/more awkward than the 4sp. The only time I had a sloppy gear shift with your symptoms was when the  mounting bush just below the gear lever (the same as the one you replaced I think) came loose after only a few miles of use after having replaced it  - cured with a nyloc nut.  Things can appear okay as the nut on the transmission tunnel can be tight while the one underneath on the linkage is loose and visa versa, or both. Worth checking
