If you are able to "set" the internals by taking it apart, it could be that the plastic casing has cracked, causing too much "give" for the moving mechanism inside. Look carefully at the casing to see if you can detect any cracks. These cracks can blend it really well when the retract is not under load. If it is cracked, then no internal fix will work for long. The wiring coming off the board is another matter. I find it is impossible to go in there and resolder.
PS, one more thing. Practice landing with no flaps till you get good at it, then try it with 1/2 flaps (take off flaps), then full flaps. I find it easier to learn to land with no bounce if I do it in this progression of practice.
