    Front seat back and forth adjuster

    Hi all,

    Hope you can help me find a part I am looking for to fix the back and forth movement from the drivers seat. I don't know what it's called but I can have it made but they're trying to charge me $150 which I find ridiculous! Attached are the pictures of what I'm looking for:

    I really appreciate the help!

    Is this from the internals on the side of the seat with power seat adjustment that helps the seat recline? If that is the case, you have to buy the whole gear housing as a replacement or find a donor car. In my case for a 1989 E24, the PN was 52101917237. A quick google shows its a genuine BMW part and runs ~$120 from ECS Tuning. Perhaps show some pictures of where the gear came out of if I am wrong.

    That's the gear inside the fore/aft gearbox housing, right? It picks up the cable drive coming from the center seat motor? I have a complete set of gearboxes from an E23 I parted out. It had power comfort seats, I believe the parts are the same for the E23, E24 & E28 too. They might not be the same part number but I can take some pics, PM me if you're interested.

    I'm not sure what shipping to Costa Rica might cost...I'd assume you just wanted the plastic drive gear?

    Thank you guys! Yes, I just need the plastic drive, I'm attaching a couple more pictures with the shell, it kinda looks like the lower part in your picture.

    I wouldn't mind giving it a try. I can have it shipped to a Miami address it doesn't need to be to Costa Rica.

    I pulled mine apart, looks identical to yours. The gear looks pretty bad on mine too though. I'm not sure you'll want this one. Pics:
