Seems like a long time for the CC fingerings to 'take', but you did spend years on the BBb (an assumption based on your post). When I added EEb to my tuba family, it took a while for it to feel as 'normal' as did CC, or BBb before it. Playing EEb in brass band (treble cleff) was no problem, but in bass cleff I simply shut down. Especially playing parts I knew so well in CC. I had to play very deliberatly for quite some time, well after it became second nature (really, I was still thinking fingerings when it occured to me I did not have to anymore)! It will continue to get easier until you don't have to think of it at all.
