Title: Seat mechanism help needed
Post by: 91 e30m42 on December 02, 2011, 11:54:13 AM

will the seat mechanism such as the lever for reclining back and forth... is it the same on the sports seats as the non sport seats as i got some free sport seats that i will redo but one of the mechanism's gears are shot.. so i was thinking of swapping them over from the none sports... any info will be great before i take apart the non sports and find out they dont fit as the non sports are in my daily right now...

I don't think they're the same, unfortunately.  The only think I've managed to swap are the mounting rails.
