Passenger seat won't move forward/backward
86' 4Runner, front passenger seat quit moving forward and backward. The seat still reclines, but I think the cable became disconnected at some point. I used to be able to pull the lever on the side for entering into the back seats, seat came forward, etc. but I've never been able to adjust the legroom. Now it doesn't engage when I pull the lever.
Any thoughts on the problem, or has anyone dealt with this issue before??

For some reason its a fairly common issue with 1G runners. Its an easy fix. I even "fixed" one with a hunk of coat hanger.

The cable splits into a Y. One part for the back tilt, the other part to unlock the rail slider. There's a little metal ball on the end of each cable, which is held in place by a bent piece of metal.

i just replaced mine; the cable was broken. i unbolted the seat and flipped it upside down, saw the Y cable, removed and fed in the replacement. i got my replacement on ebay for a good price. as far as i know, there is no lever for sliding back n' forth purposes, only for rear in/out access. easy fix. good luck!
