Transfer switch salvagable?

Apparently my Progressive Dynamics has failed. I thought it was a faulty 30 AMP connection on the ole at my garage. Rebuilt the connection and definitely have power there.
I can start the genset and have power when it runs.
The switch had a couple of moments delay before it would switch over, but I was told and read this was to protect the genset until it ran smoothly.
Pretty much figured the switch is at fault. There is a pile of wires and work to replace it - likely beyond by confidence and ability. My hope is that there is some sort of re-set or such that can be done to "un-stick" the points and get it working right again.
I have seen several videos on trouble shooting etc but found nothing on what to do if trouble is found.
Is there such a thing as manually operating the switch manually a few times - with the power and gen set off of course? Ideas or solutions?
