Seat slides backward, seat adjustment Options

[Mike1981]

Hello

I just picked up a 1970 914
I was hoping for some advice please

I seems as if the clutch pedal must be depressed all the way to the floor to avoid grinding

However the seat is all the way back to the firewall

When I move the seat forward my legs can easily depress the pedal as well as the reach to the gearshifter is better.

The only problem I have is when pushing in on the clutch the seat detaches from its setting and slides all the way back

I took the seat out oiled the rails and it slides easily by hand

Once I put pressure on it, the seat will again snap out of it setting and slide back

Has anyone had this happen

Could anyone offer a solution?

Thanks

Mike

Thanks Everyone

For the advice the link and the pic.

I found the clutch cable under the car

I tightened it 3 turns but felt no improvement.

I will turn it a few more turns this weekend to see if the engagement point moves closer to the drivers position.

I agree I did remove the seat oiled it and replaced it

Maybe I did something wrong.

I will check the spring tension as well as alignment of the track

Thanks

Mike
