Default 1996 power seat to manual?

Have a 1996 EX sedan with driver's power seat, 3-way. The back and forth motor is going out. If I am unable to find a motor at a reasonable price, I would like to swap the seat and tracks out for a manual seat and tracks. Does anyone know if the tracks will match up? I assume that any 94-97 accords will work. What year(s) of Acura will match up?

Welcome to the forum,I am not sure if a manual track will work but worth a try,the only way to know is find someone with a manual track and look. Maybe someone here will know.Or talk to someone at your Honda service dept.

Thanks. In case anyone else has the same problem, I went ahead and found a manual seat out of a 1995 Accord at a local junkyard until I can find a working motor. $22. Fits perfectly.

Kinda a day late but I believe that similar year TLs and CLs should bolt right up as both are based on the accord chassis. I would measure the bolt holes carefully before I laid down too much cash but you might be able to make a hybrid out of the two seats if you had to or rob it of parts to make yours work.
