Turn signal switch HELP

I have experience with those, but it's hard to tell what is happening by the discription.
Some of the aftermarket units are out of whack and have to be modded.
On the one I put in my car recently I had to bend the spring arm contacts to get them in the right places so the signals worked right.

So, is yours binding in all ranges of motion?
Have you tried loosening the handle screw a little and see if it loosens up?
Is the new one EXACTLY like the old one shape wise?
