Does anyone know?

Can I use a passenger side seat track on the driver side? My motors are dead in my driver side power seat, looking to fix this cheap, but not sure if a manuel set of tracks will work from the passenger side.

Thanks

No prob.

FWIW, you will lose a lot of seat travel with the manual track. I'm 6' even, and my knees almost hit the knee pad.

I would highly recommend tapping the second set of seat holes (in the seat itself). There is a set of dummy holes already drilled and tapped (at the factory), so you drill/tap the second set to fit the track once the new front ones are bolted in.

In my case, it was annoying enough that I went to a seat track extender.

Good luck.

Well im 6'4 so I would def need extenders. Where did you get yours?

You can get them from BOI, MU and supply houses like that. BOI sells them on ebay for instance.

Here's another catch for you. I got mine used for a nice price. The reason: The gent who had them was like you in that he enjoyed clean air because his head was in a different atmospheric level (he is 6' 6").

The extender raises the seat upwards so it was akin to being a clown in a clown car. I can totally see this - being only 6' even, I am looking through my tint strip to see the stop light when I'm first in line. It could also hamper your ingress/egress (hitting your head on the roof).

That's just something else to consider. With the expense of the extenders (I think they're 60-70 bucks new), it could be better money to buy a used power seat track and call it a day. Had I been able to find one at a reasonable rate, I'd have gone that route myself.
Good luck.
