Gunfighter movement gets "locked"

[Exmatrix]

Hi everyone,
having a problem with a Gunfighter (+MCG). sometimes my movements gets "locked" and my ship is constantly spinning on a random direction (not a specific axis problem) and will not respond to any stick movement. also the stick led is flashing red. only way I can stop it is disconnecting the cable and reattach it. surprisingly it happens almost exclusively mid action, like dogfighting. happened on 2 different PCs so I know it is a stick problem.
is there any known solution for this? this is game breaking for me.

Check connection grip to base. Take the locking screw out, clean the contacts, put it back.
