I had an extreme case of the seatback twist. I did the cable fix but it still had problems. It turned out the recline/rear height adjust gearbox had a stripped wormgear. I was able to find a used gearbox on ebay from Gibby, ebay username: "gauction-pro", great parts source & fast friendly service.

I swapped the gearbox, fixed a headrest cable, & repaired a loose armrest which had the pin almost falling out. Here's the fixes on an updated repair page:
