Sounds like "that place"made a mistake somewhere along the line.

Under severe service schedules that fluid should have been changed 3 times by now, how many times was it?

There is no filter to change as it is a manual not an automatic. There are no adjustments. so if there is play in the linkage or worn linkage going to the transmission from the shifter, then replace it. I expect this is internal and not in the linkage. If true, then I would consider a rebuilt or a used tranmission.
