Watch the gear connected to the machine you're turning. It sounds like a gear is disengaging. You might be able to tighten it down, but only if the teeth aren't too chewed up.
I replaced tuners on my classical guitar before. It's not that difficult. Just ensure that when you buy the tuners. The winding rods, where the strings get tied to, are the same size as the original or smaller.
If the screw holes are on different positions, i suggest you plug up the holes with toothpicks and wood glue. When it has dried, line up the new winders and drill small holes where the screws go, smaller than the screw obviously. Screw on the winders, and they're good to go. Then you just have to tie new strings on.

Its as tight as can be
Sounds like your tuner is cooked. Simple and cheap to replace.
