Power Seat Flexible Drive Shaft

Broke off the flexible drive shaft between the drive motor and gear on the passenger power seat. MBZ says they do not supply parts for the power seat - only the whole assembly for $2100 installed. The flexible shaft is 12 inches long and looks very much like a short speedometer cable. Does anyone have any experience with this issue and any suggestions for a lower cost solution?

what do the ends look like?

My 993 porsche uses similar cables and I have a bunch laying around. If they are the same type of cable and I have one of similar length, i'll let you have it cheap.

that said, how did you break it and why is it not under warranty?

The flex cable length is 11.5 inches, diameter is 1/4 inch, and the tips are 1/8"inch square. Please let me know if you have a match. We can take it off line to discuss price. richmatlack@kw.com If you give me your email I can send picture with full details.
