You have too much clamp load at your shift point, whether base or counterweight induced. Peak torque is at lower rpm where counterweights are less effective. If the base is quite low and you make up for it with counterweight to get enough clamp load at peak torque, it is easy to then have too much at the higher shift rpm.
