My throttle quadrant axes reset when coming out of Slew Mode

I replaced my Saitek Throttle Quadrant last week.  When I plugged it in for the first time, it reset a lot of my previously custom set key assignments and axis controls...so I had to redo all those assignments and re-calibrate.  Everything seemed okay, EXCEPT one annoying issue:  every time I come out of Slew mode, throttle goes to 70% and flaps go to 10 degrees...(I have throttle and flaps set to 2 of the quadrant axes).  It is as if the controller's axes are being reset to middle position when I come out of slew.  I dont know what is causing this and it is very annoying. (Example, when I slew to new position on a taxi way, my throttle revs up to 70%, even though my controller's knob is at 0% (idle).  Any ideas what I might be missing?  In the meantime, when I come out of slew mode, I just have to quickly move the controller's knobs slightly to get them to respond back to their actual position.
