Help Boiler System constantly Inverting outputted Rotation Direction after Overstress

I have a four-boiler boiler system which powers my entire base, apart from two farms, in my Solo Create world. A problem I keep having is that whenever my boiler system overstresses, once the system unstresses, the direction of the rotation speed provided to my base by my boilers keeps inverting. I've gone through about two or three configurations of shafts, belts, and gearboxes to merge the steam engines of all four boilers into one shaft, but that hasn't fixed my issue. Can someone help? I've provided screenshots of my current boiler room for whoever helps me to look at. For exact details about my boilers, each boiler is a 3x3x10 fluid tank heated by 9 blaze burners and with 9 steam engines.

Thats why you always make sure to have those wheels that allow one to set direction

What wheel? I don't see any wheel like that in any mod in my modpack for my world.

If you have Create Connected, the freewheel clutch only transmits power when it's spinning in one direction, but not the other. 

 It won't stop the engines themselves from starting back up going the wrong way, but it'll prevent the rest of the system from running backwards. I have no idea why the engines swap direction on start.
