: is this normal? what are the different ways to keep it in LOW or HIGH gear?

Normal, but certainly not desireable. We have found that you just need to restrain the shift lever somehow. Some years we've just used a piece of wire to secure it in position. Last year we had a changable spacer that we just flipped from one side to the other but that was because we had a nice mount and we were going to try shifting, but never got there. Our gear ratio was pretty close to optimum anyway. But I'm not going to tell you what it was.
