power seat gear
I have a 2000 SC300 and the drivers power seat stopped moving fore and aft. I took it out of the car, tore it apart and found the inside track plastic gear was broken. It's driven by a mini driveshaft from the motor which drives the outer track. I cannot buy the gear from any dealer. All they can tell me is I have to buy the entire seat track assy. which is $1700.00. That's never going to happen for a gear which should be about a buck. I cannot believe Lexus would make a heavy duty seat and cheap out with the most important part of the whole system. In the meantime I took the gear out and left the inside track free floating. Any ideas?
