I think mine won't stay in 4 low because my mounts are shot. I need to slide the engine back every time I want to pull my E-fan. Not to say (our) bushings aren't shot. If I look down below my manifolds, I can see I'm not centered on the LH mount. So there's that.

sounds like worn out bushings as the are just plastic, also the linkage may not be properly aligned, mine use to do this and i had to get new bushings and mess around with the adjustment of the linkage.....which is why im going custom once i get my 231 in place.
