EQ6 declination shudder

Hi guys,

Just after some feedback from other eq6 owners.

Ra is smooth as silk, but declination axis is a little noisier and makes a kind of shudder/grinding noise like this mount does in both axes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJNjv...eature=related

Note; it tends to do it it when ramping up to speed and slowing down after a slew. It does not make a noise when it is slewing between the ramp and ramp down speeds. It does not affect the telescopes view however, I dont like the noise!

My question is does your eq6 make this noise?
