You can also take out the ratchet pawl mechanism and sharpen the dog gears, they round over under lots of use. For the floppy lever, double check that the ball bearing and spring are still present. If they are then you need a new knuckle. Lots of threads on here about that for the E/H models, not sure for anything older.
