Air ratchet problems.

I've got an IR 3/8" air ratchet and now when running, I can hold the socket. If I use it as a bulky ratchet, with out air, it seems fine. Add air, it'll spin....but you can still hold the socket. I thought I broke the driveshaft in it, but that seems intact.

Google search didn't turn up much, maybe the head is wore out?

I do like the ratchet and have been using it pretty steady for about a year.
(unlike the CH ratchet that lasted 6 weeks.)

Any tool gurus have a fix? I personally didn't like the ergonomics of the SO or MAC, main reason for the IR.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
