I've been playing with it for months. What triggers the "loose" feeling is when you let off the throttle during (or very close to) an upshift event. Usually what you're trying to accomplish when it happens is to accelerate through gear X, then switch to X+1 and immediately coast (or engine brake) in that gear. The usual snappy shift is laggy and loose when you do this. The solution is not to drop off the gas when you're shifting. Hold the gas through the shift until the next gear engages solidly, and *then* back off the gas. Basically it can't predict what you're going to do next, and it has certain expectations if everything's to work smoothly. Just learn the expectations.
