Default Need a little help...seats

Does anyone have a spare seat kicking around or know where I can get a part off of one? My passenger side seat only moves back and forth on the track on one side, the side with the motor closest to it moves. What I need is the part that spins the rail opposite the seats motor. There's a tube from the motor to a little white plastic thing connecting to the other rail. The tube threads into the motor and to the little plastic part I need. What happened is there's a plastic gear inside the little box that moves that one side rail and the plastic gear has stripped. I guess whoever had the car before really worked the seat out! Anyone know where I can get what I need? I'll see if I can get me darn camera to upload the pick of what I need and what I'm talking about.

You don't need a new seat, just the gear inside the transmission. I rebuilt both of mine last week. The gears on all the motors are the same.

Its not the gear in the motor that stripped but in that little white thing that spins the rail across from the motor. I don't know if that makes sense it's a little hard to explain. I'm gonna see if I can post the pics I have.

Ok here we go, this first pic shows the motor and the plastic tube that connects it to the piece I need.


In this pic My finger is pointing the where the piece I need goes. I already removed it before I though of taking a pic.


Here's a close up of what the piece I need looks like when removed.


After taking apart the piece above, this is why I need the piece. As you can see the middle of the gear has been stripped away so it no longer spins the rail


I technically only need the gear but it will probably be easier for some one to get the white piece in the 3rd. If anyone can help me out here or knows where I can find this piece lemme know. thanks.
