Rocking Seat TSB FIX - worked?

[Duntov7]

For those of you (C5) who have had the TSB (# 02-08-50-002) done by Chevy service to fix the driver's (or passenger) seat from 'Rocking' (usually upon acceleration with the 6-speed).....how have the RESULTS been....is it noticeably better than before the fix, or nay?

There is a way to fix this yourself. who ever needs this info, let me know and I'll zip it up and send it to you. I found this on the internet and have not had the time to post this on my web site yet.

well, my rocking seat turned out to be more than the TSB mentioned - they replaced the entire driver's seattrack and no problems!

This is the way GM fix's all the rocking seat issues. I have heard that not too long after this fix, it starts all over again. :eyerole

Thanks Slick, but why are you forcing me to look at your page with
I.E.

 

[SLICKMAN]

Come on now Cal, lets not cry... I don't feel like sending out this zip file every time it’s needed so, just save or view it off my page. Geee, I try to help and I get harassed...

 

[Steve Calvin]

Geeze... some peoples kids... ok, ok, I'll save it. (I'm just "bustin' " on ya)

Actually thanks alot. My '97's starting to rock on take offs and slowdowns.
Sounds like a PITA to fix though??

Especially since I'm not really a "wrench". Plus I'm probably not gonna keep it that long anyhow.

Edit: Actually, I thought that the message was pretty hysterical saying that the port had been disabled for security reasons. H*ll, you can't get a bigger security risk than IE.:L
