A couple of things come to mind. First work on just "k" attacks even as quarter notes. Play them slowly and once you can play them with no problem at this slow speed gradually increase your speed. DO NOT GO ANY FASTER UNTIL YOU ARE COMFORTABLE AT ONE SPEED!! Then. and only then gradually increase your speed. Also it sounds according to your post that you are using "TKT" which is fine, but you might want to try "TTK". However, with whichever you are using use the same idea, do them slowly until you are comfortable at one speed and then move to a faster speed. Work with a metronome. I know this may sound like the long and hard way to get things correct, but it sounds as though you have developed a habit which needs to be broken. We can only break habits by slow and deliberate efforts. I know you want the quick fix, but there really is not one. The quick fix is doing it the way that I have outlined.
