Default Broken Seat...Easy Fix or No?

I was driving down the highway showing off the car to someone and I floored it and the torque hit I think broke the seat. The only manual part of the power seat (the part that adjusts how far you lean forward or back in the seat) completely broke. I'm basically stuck sitting in a partially lying down position. I threw some boxes behind the seat to keep it propped up but what the heck broke? I'm assuming a clip. Is this an easy fix or a royal pain in the butt? Thanks for the help!

I'll fix your seat and remove that supercharger so you'll never have to go through this again.

either way, you have to take the seat out to check the part that is broken.
Could be the spring that holds the actuator in place has let go, or worse case, the teeth of the manipulator or worm gear broken.
Once you have the seat apart, you may be able to fix.
I have a pic (not great) of the actuator spring



Good Luck

bump any more help/advice?

Is it more economically feasible to just upgrade the seats in the car or fix this?
