When I was done, I started the engine, let it run for a short while, went a few times thru all the gears with the foot firmly on the brake and the handbrake on, and then - with the engine running I opened again the ATF-level-check bolt, which is the big golden one on the right side in the picture. A small stream of ATF came out - I was happy with that.

As my little helper had only a couple of minutes to help me, I had to contend with the old ATF coming out by the green hose. But the idea was, that it would come out of the clear hose so that I could see the colour-change better, AND the idea was to purge the ATF-chamber in the radiator that way as well: SO as you can see, the ATF comes out of the upper pipe, which I connected back to the radiator, and the clear waste-pipe goes to the lower connection point.

That's one of the pans. (Btw.: Before blowing: Opening the drain plug only (and starting up the engine twice for about 3 seconds each, and letting the old ATF drip out over night I got 4L out of the system..., "Blowing" gave me another 1.5L after letting it drip again over night).

SO here we go: The "blow" method: After disconnecting the drain plug: With both pipes disconnected and the lower pipe replaced with a "waste-pipe) leading into the waste-pan I blew with the air-compressor-gun full power into the upper opening on the radiator and out came the ATF, which was stuck in the radiator by the waste hose. Then I carefully blew into the 2 pipes going to the transmission and out came the old ATF by the drain plug opening and by those 2 pipes (2 pans required!)

Note that it is necessary to insert the pipe-removal-tool fully and to twist it into a position, where it can "push" all 4 clips on the pipe-connector outwards.

This shows the a.m. spare seat - mainly manual adjustment with only ONE height adjust motor, which very likely has a 16cm spindle.

To avoid having to go thru the immense trouble of having to disconnect the seat belt I simply lifted the driver's seat carefully onto the rear seats with a solid support (little plastic bench underneath.

And after all this (seat back in position and the fixed motor worked fine), the other height adjust was playing up (the one, which is doing the lifting of the rear of the seat...). I am fairly sure that THIS spindle with sprocket is 14cm long (the other was 11cm).

And here it gets really difficult, because it is very hard to get the little inner bolt into position. Also. you need to adjust the metal bar above to be finally in the correct position over the threads.

Next I moved all the bits and pieces from the old spindle to the new. To do so I had been grinding off the other end of the spindle (opposite to the sprocket). Note that there is a ring inside the outermost part. After moving over all the bits & pieces, the outermost part did not want to go over the new spindle and I carefully drilled a little bit into it with a 9mm drill-bit, but not completely thru - I just removed a tiny bit of material, ...

Thus I removed the motor on the right (as seen on picture above). Your see the broken (by design) plastic sprocket and the new part on it's right (...the RIGHT part is on the right... ;). Also note that little plate between the motor and the broken plastic: Do not forget to put it back where it was, i.e. on top of the golden sprocket.

Here you see 3 motors: on top with thin spindles on both sides: Moving the seat forward and backwards. Below and on right: to move front part of the seat up/down. Below and left: to move rear part of seat up/down. My issue was the front part, which did not want to move down anymore. Note that I am in Australia and this is a RHD driver's seat. Thus, your US driver's seat looks probably like a mirror image of this.

To be able to remove the motor, you need to hammer a pin out and remove 2 bolts (5mm hex key),..and: This will drive you nuts: Remove the connector from under the seat. Very tricky: I knew that system, as it is being used in the engine compartment on some Jags: Push a screwdriver thru under the connector to push that little latch away from the connector, so that you can pull the connector of it's "rail". You pull the connector towards the back of the seat...

To fix this design failure (plastic sprockets) the aftermarket offers the real Mc Coy: Metal sprockets. You can either buy those sprockets only or buy it with the spindle. I bought it with spindle. I bought only the replacement part for the part, which was broken, and that was the 11cm long version.

To move all the parts over I had to grind off the old spindle on the other end. Later I saw that I actually did not have to grind off as much - possibly - as there is a "ring" inside of the outer part. But does not matter, as that old spindle is scrap anyway. To get the outer part back onto the new part I had to drill very slowly and carefully first into that part with a size 9mm drill. I did not drill all the way thru. It need just a bit of an ID increase.

That is the height adjust motor taken apart with the 11cm spindle - left: old / right: new. Those parts on the spindle need to be transferred. Don't loose or forget that little plate (shown between motor and old spindle. It sits on top of the sprocket (the golden thing on the new part.)
