Horizontal Actuator Adjustment
1983 Chevrolet Cavalier CS, 2D Coupe, 2.0 B, AutomaticSECTION Horizontal Actuator Adjustment
- Chucking can be corrected by adjusting the horizontal actuator and pinion gear to full mesh with the lower adjuster lower track rack-gear. Operate seat to full up position, and approximately a 3/4 full forward position. Loosen horizontal actuator screws.
- Using a large screwdriver, apply outward pressure on horizontal actuator (about 15-25 lbs.) and at the same time energize horizontal switch to move seat fore and aft slightly. This helps set the horizontal actuator pinion gear teeth tight to the lower track rack gear teeth and eliminate free play between gear teeth. While maintaining outward pressure against horizontal actuator, tighten screws.
