Mine works, and is still stiff enough not be knocked around too badly.

However I chose to bypass it when I installed the CD player and eight speaker sound system .

But for the week that I drove the car with the original sterio It worked just fine.

Mine works perfectly. Sometimes there's some static noise while i move it around, which stops as soon as I stop moving it.

Not all '84-'85 Rx-7 have them, it depends on which stereo you car had installed.

Which was mostly GSL and GSL-SE, also the '81-83 had a joystick fader if equiped with the electronic turner unit that was located below the EQ.
