Actually it might not be a totally bad that the mirrors get manually moved once in a while to keep the clutch from getting stuck. Double edge sword though if the extra pressure causes the gears to jump, parts to wear or locating pin to break . There really is no proper fix unless a person does a little bit of redesign and reassembly with a jig keeping the tolerances closer than original, maybe modifying or at least lubricating the clutch so that releases easier.
