Try a little experiment: apply a tiny bit of Loctite (superglue) to the points at which the fan vanes connect to the spindle on the clock. Why? Because, if the vanes are not very tightly secured to the spindle, your clock will just lurch under the tension of the start of the cycle and your mech will just "buck" as it recoils. I have encountered this problem at least twice in the past, and it sounds like the problem you're complaining about.
