Are Alfa gearchanges supposed to be this crap?

Hi all
Just bought a 147 2.0, and find the 5-speed box gear selection to be ponderous to say the least; the gap across gate is huge (in 1st and 2nd I have my hand on the passengers leg), and even in gear the play on the stick is laughable. This car replaces a JTD 156 Sportwagon which had a 6-speeder and was sweet as a nut. I thought the 6-speeder would be a 5 with a cog tacked on, but its chalk and cheese.
Is there something wrong or is there a quickshift kit available somewhere??
