Driver's Seat Failing 900 1992

Hey everyone,

I recently tried to move my driver's seat and the front-right track refused to move. I couldn't find any objects blocking the track so I removed the seat. I then thoroughly examined the tracks and still couldn't see anything that would prevent it from moving. After re-greasing the tracks with white lithium grease, I propped the seat in the car and connected the seat control cables. The broken track moved briefly and then quit moving. While all of this was occurring I noticed that the visible gear (seemingly held in by a ring) on the motor on the failing track wasn't moving (despite the fact it was making noise). In a last ditch effort, I took the seat out and thoroughly greased the visible gears and installed the seat. Sadly, the seat is now so far forward that I'd have to be 5 ft. tall to safely operate her =/. Another consequence of this is that I can only install 3 of the 4 primary bolts because the seat is blocking the front-right bolt hole. I've tried using all of my weight to get the seat to move and it just won't budge. I'm guessing the motor on that track has failed, and that my best option is finding a seat at Pick n' Pull. Does anyone know which years will be compatible with my 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo (I'm guessing 1991-1995)?

Thanks so much for reading this rambling story =)
