lokar kickdown linkage 727 question on 440

as for the trans. lever does the lever return to forward fully (Idle position) or does it stay close to the rear? Im adjusting the kick-down and i see that it doesn't return to idle position (forward of the car), not really going back to forward position unless i loosen the Allen screw on the kick-down then it goes forward. I added a small spring on he trans. lever to help it go forward but has little to no effect.

been looking for an answer on the lever position when cable is install? how far forward is it suppose to be at? position-wise?
