Not that loose. Check your throttle valve cable. It is most likely out of adjustment or disconnected. This cable is also known as the kick down cable.
To adjust it there is a white clip on the cable mount up by the engine. Lift that clip up. Slide the cable in or out to set the travel. I normaly start with 1/16" between the throttle linkage arm and the TV cable slider. Just keep setting the TV cable till the trans shifts the way you want it to. Most of the cables I havbe adjusted like it with no free play between the pin and slider.
Here is a pic of the linkage. This is a little different than yours. This linkage is from a intercooled truck. The adjustment is the same between them.
