Jim,
I had the same problem. Took it apart and cleaned it like you did. I looked for parts and could not find them. Then I did something that made it work for the rest of the project. It was about a year ago and i don't rememeber for sure, but I think I lubed the angle on the back side of the grip. I remember thinking that what I did was not completely logical, but it worked. I may have just sprayed the mechanism with WD-40.
I'm sorry my pea brain does not remember these things. I hesitate to post such a lame answer, but we are among friends.
Luck with your project.
