Drivers seat adjuster handle broken
 

Just realised that the handle to adjust the tilt/height is broken on my rx, anyone know how to fix. Its still attached and has resistance when i pump it but it only moves 2mm up and down now.

I had the same problem, it is common and is the same on Miatas.

I mentioned to one of the techs at Mazdaspeed Motorsports and it happened that he was the one who wrote a ton of the TSB's for the 8, including the one for this repair!

It requires two small parts, a spring and a plastic piece that moves the actuator and they are cheap.

I have the info at home and will have to look it up this weekend, but maybe someone can be of immediate help. If not I will get it to you after the weekend.

Thanks, that would be a great help.

Here are the pages of the TSB that relates to the problems of a broken seat adjuster. The part numbers you need are on the last page. Usually the guide cam is broken and the new piece is stronger.

First page is on the next post.

Hope that helps.

And....

Cheers I'll get on this, thanks for your help
