Default Seat moves when braking

My power seats move (a little) when I brake. Any solutions?

Pay $1000+ for a new seat base, or source one from a salvage yard.

All power seats do it to an extent. It does seem to be more pronounced as they get older though. I wouldn't worry too much.

Did you ever replace the tranny filter? How did it go?

I'm certainly not going to spend $300 for a part to fix the seat. It doesn't move that much yet. There should be an easier/cheaper way????

Yes, I did change the tranny filter, at 60k miles. It was not totally black, but not exactly pink like the new one either. I think it was time, even though I change out 3 quarts every 15k miles. I plan to keep this car for at least 10-15 years, so I am trying to make it last. I have had no out-of-pocket expenses on this car yet (knocks on wood).

PS: That bottom bolt on the filter housing was difficult to get out, and back in, but I finally figured it out, after my back was killing me.
