Fixing the turn signal mechanism is possible, but you'll need a Dremel tool, and a drill and tap for small machine screws.
The easiest is to get a replacement stalk mechanism (rewiring is apparently required for older cars) or you can look at this as an excuse/opportunity to get some new tools.
To fix it, removed the mechanism (described by one of the other folks), drill or grind the end off the metal lugs that hold the metal part to the plastic part. Take it apart and carefully regrind the shape of the cam (using the Dremel tool) so that the follower will stay put when you move the stalk. You'll be able to see where it's worn. To reassemble, cut the remaining part of the metal lugs off, drill pilot holes and tap the holes for some small machine screws. If you don't want to tap the holes, some small self-tapping screws will work too.
If you mess it up, you've got some nice new tools and the new stalk won't cost any more.
