Seat Track
Has anyone pulled their seat transmission apart? My 16,000 mile 90's passenger seat won't move back and forth. I don't see anything jamming it, so I thought I'd disassemble and see if anything is hung up inside

Re: Seat Track
Easy to do. Problem is getting the parts. There's a guy from Canada that periodically sells the transmission parts to rebuild it yourself for about $50 on Ebay. But he's not currently selling. I've done two now and it's not hard if you have any mechanical skills at all. There's also an outfit on Ebay currently selling the entire transmission for $150 which is not too bad. Don't make the same mistake I did an buy an old and supposedly "good" seat frame with the transmission. I got one that was broken from the get go, the other I installed and it broke in a matter of weeks. These old plastic parts inside the transmission just don't hold up.
Here's what the guts of the transmission looks like with the typical broken parts. H

Re: Seat Track
Great info and pictures. How did you remove the transmission from the track?

Re: Seat Track
The seat track separates into a right and left side when you remove the C-clips that hold the shafts in place. When you look at it, it will be obvious. Once separated the transmission can be removed.

Re: Seat Track
I did remove those two screws, but it's hanging together. I pried one of the pins that had the cotter keys in it apart. I really thought it would be much easier, which is why I'm sure there's something simple I've missed.
I appreciate the offer of the seat tracks, but my car only had 16k on it, so I'm sure it's an age thing. The passenger seat was rarely operated. |

Looks like you took the transmission bolts out already. You may want to put those back in to hold the transmission firmly while you tap on the opposite frame. H

Re: Seat Track
It was stuck. Knew it had to be something simple. Bottom of frame was hung up on motor assembly. Once I pried it down and out of the way it pulled apart. Thanks for your patience. Nothing seems to come easily
