Sherline Thread Cutting Attachment Slipping

So I've finally gotten around to needing to cut some threads on the lathe. The installation guide was fairly straight-forward and configuration of the gears was no problem. The issue I'm having is that when backing off the tool and reversing the handwheel direction, the arm holding the gears together is loosening and the gears slip. Sometimes it happens almost immediately and sometimes only after several cutting passes.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what they've done...
