Dec gears have PE too, but generally once your aligned it shouldn't matter. As you get closer and closer need to drift longer to check it is correct.
Might be helpful to post up an image of what you're seeing if possible?
Others could then comment if seems normal for your gear.

I should have captured some screenshots last night, but I was a bit too brain fried to remember. I'll capture stuff tonight if I don't get it sorted.
As for the different coloured lines - yes that applies for the general guiding, but if you look at the tutorial page I linked, it uses the "red" line for the slope in the drift align process. You're suppose to "flatten" the line in the process and I was able to do so up to a point.
Periodic error will be in there since I don't have PEC enabled. I'll have to look up the value, but the mess I was seeing was quite frequent. Maybe it was having more of an effect than I thought.
