It's a spiral gear. If it's off track, you're boned. How did ya manage that one?

probably not off track... probably just broken (the motor to track worm gear sucks and breaks somewhat easily)...

if thats the case, not much sense in doing anything other than buying new seats or seat bottoms (the mechanical part, at least)...

if you need to move the seat and don't need to move it any more (like my driver seat that doesn't move by itself anymore), you can take a 10mm wrench and manually operate the worm gears (one side at a time though) by accessing the nut that is attached to the front of it - stick your head under the seat and you should see what I'm talking about...

there's one motor in the center of the seat that drives both seat rails through some worm gears... if the cap on the end of the worm gear comes off (its plastic), then the piece doesn't make a positive connection with the other gear, and only one side moves...

i've never seen parts available for it at all...

I imagine there is something that you could do to fix it, but would definitely have to be very creative...
