[APML] dec drive question



Hi all,
 
Last week I tightened up the meshing of the worm gear on the dec drive as per manufacturer's instructions to try to reduce the lag in reversing directions.  While it seems to have helped marginally, I have noted a new effect:  while drifting last night and bisecting a star vertically (N/S is up/down), the star would drift slightly downward before heading up, all while the "up" button was engaged.  The fix seems to be simple: undo my tightening procedure.
The real question is:  what causes this effect?  I would have thought this motion impossible.  
 
Thanks,
