Make sure these inconsistencies are happening outside of Clod as well. You want to atleast be sure its a hardware problem and not in the game before you get the soldering iron out. If the calibration menu shows every button and axis working as intended, you've eliminated that possibility.

If the calibration works fine, I would make sure clod recognizes the axis as it should and then make sure no other buttons are assigned to iit in clod. Clod allows multiple assignments for one buttonand that would cause the problem you're experiencing.

If you can see a pattern (I.e. stick forward = toggle mirror everytime) then you can narrow it down to that one key assignment.

Good luck and let us know if your stick works fine in other sims/calibration.

Edit: I'm focusing on the software side because if its the hardware I wouldn't be able to provide any tips at all =/ here's hoping its software.
