Usually sloppy, usually linkages!
Repair kits are available to make this better but you still have a long way between the gear stick and the gearbox for a little slack to creep in.
So long as all the gears function correctly (even with a bit of slop!) and there are no unusual whines, rumbles or bits falling off, then it should be ok!
