DeWalt Transmission Problem

Our team recently purchased two brand new DeWalt transmissions and interfaced them with the KOP globe motors. One Drives a belt and the other drives a chain with idlers at the bottom. They are both attached to arm fixtures, one with minimal weight and the other with a substantial ammount of weight. The transmissions work great lifting our the armatures, however when letting them down they tend to jump. The transmission attached to the lighter weight jumps almost un-noticeably. The larger one however will not turn when the torque is set to one and jumps once then breaks the torque when set to 21. We have tried surgical tubing to relieve the weight from the transmission, however when it gets towards the top and the tubing slacks we have the same problem.

Has any other team experienced this problem? How did you solve It?
