If your cancelling tab is on the right, and the serpentine spring is 
there, strung between the 2 tabs, then I think the TS should cancel. 
It's possible that the grease in there is just sticky and needs 
something fresh in there to free it up.

There's a plastic tab that should protrude into the space where the 
cancelling tab goes. It should slide in from the right, under the 
spring. If that got broken off, then the cancelling tab wouldn't have 
anything to push against. That would make the cancelling function not 
work.
