OK, so long story short I picked up a Mad Catz SFIV SE stick at a flee market. I heard about the joystick issue, so I took it apart, and saw that the washer was moving around. I then proceeded to disassemble the stick and glue the washer, the only problem is that the stick now makes a grinding noise on the diagonals. From what I can see the issue is caused by the piece of plastic that holds the spring in place, it seems to scrape the base when moving towards the sides -by the way it's not caused by excess glue, in case anybody was thinking it. The stick itself works and the movements register without a problem, but before I messed with it, it was a fluid clicky action, now it's like something is trying to escape from the inside of my fight stick.
