Stock seats look at http://www.car-part.com

Racing seats look at google.

Also on car part.com you can look for a new motor for your seat. But it would probably be cheaper to just get a whole new seat.

The easiest place you're gonna be able to find one is at a Mitsubishi dealership. And they'll rape you on the price of the motor. If you don't wanna spend that much money, look online to see if you can find a seat from another GT in a junkyard and see how much that would cost. Either way you look at it though, it's either gonna be an expensive job if you want the easiest way to get a new seat, or it's gonna be really time consuming if you have the patience to hunt another one down somewhere.

Look under your seat and make sure you dont have something caught in the track. seems stupid but sometimes its all it takes.

this is what we thought initially but we took the seat out and cant seem to find anything that stops it.... it moves forward and back for about half then stops... thats why i dont know if its the motor or not. im gonna take a look again today...

I'm not sure if you looked but make sure the track is not bent for any reason. granted the motors are not super strong...see if you can give it a nudge when it gets stuck, maybe it will help. Check both the rail/roller on the seat and the floor. Good luck.
