It's a mental thing. I had trouble with a CC tuba I bought last year until I sold it. I would brain-glitch back to BBb fingerings (since I hear and think them when I'm transcribing music or figuring out parts by ear) or I would jump to trumpet fingerings (which I know as well as tuba, use in brass band, and don't confuse with BBb tuba at all). I recently had to use an Eb tuba for the first time (though I know the fingerings) and had little problem.
