Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
I assume you were running with traction control off. I was wondering if there is any benefit to using it at the strip.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
OK, both seats are finished. Both have full movement and a good and thorough cleaning and rejuvenation. I'm amazed at the great condition of these seats. There is virtually no wear and tear for 106K miles and 27 years of use.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 106,293 While I have the passenger seat out, I thought it would be a good time to treat it with Leatherique Professional Leather Restoration product. There are two parts to the kit, a Rejuvenator Oil and a cleaner. The first step is to generously slather the Rejuvenator oil over the entire seat...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I couldn't have done it without the know-how and parts from Richard Finley in China Spring, Texas. He provided an excellent video and some used plastic parts for a reasonable price. Very helpful guy. He also prints the plastic parts for this transmission as well as providing a rebuilding service.

I attended YouTube University and completed the rebuild of Silvia's passenger seat transmission. Here's the picture of success.[Youtube]https://youtube.com/shorts/Zqpj3vlMZ_U?feature=share[/Youtube]

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I started work on one of the extra seat transmissions. Here's a look at the inside when you split the cases. 007 (Medium).JPG Here are all the parts cleaned up. Looks like I need a replacement for the main gear support and one shaft end cap. All the gears and shafts look good. I found a guy in Texas...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
The rebuild seat track arrived today and now the driver's side seat controls work as they should. I tested the seat motors on the passenger side a few days ago and all three are working, but the seat will not move even though it's motor runs. I plan to remove the transmission from the now spare seat...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
It weighs 2.1 pounds.
It is a beefy motor, but it drives a transmission that uses plastic gears to move a seat and driver back and forth. I have two bad transmissions in my possession now.
There are rebuilders out there now and people are printing the plastic parts needed for them.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I'm getting a lot of experience on C4 power seats. My driver's seat track had the center motor of the tri-motor unit that was non-working. It turns out that the center motor drives the seat forward and back. I took the motor unit apart to see if I could fix it. Once I got inside all looked pretty go...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Continuing where I left off on 4/2, the eBay seat track arrived. I tested the motors before I went to install it and none of the three motors responded to the 12V applied to them. NOT GOOD. I contacted the seller and he immediately refunded my payment and told me to keep the seat track. With this re...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Yes. The front of the seat bottom is held on by a stiff wire latch that you push down to unlatch. Then just pull the seat forward and it comes out. For your first time, it's best to take a look under the front of the seat to get an understanding of how it works. After that you can do it by feel. You...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 106,146 I finally got around to tackling the power driver's seat problems. Getting the seat out wasn't too bad and there weren't any dead, mummified, animals underneath. 001.JPG 002 (2).JPG There is a unit with three motors that controls the movement of the seat. I tested each motor with a 12 v...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45
From our perspective out here in the hinterlands, an encouraging picture of significant progress in this restoration is forming. Great work and perseverance, Andy, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to more.
