I have found that a similar problem can be fixed by trimming the metal housing on the end of the cable. This allows the cable to go stick further in and thus engage the gear. This can be done without removing the seat, you just need to identify which cable is not working. You can cut the thin metal housing about a 1/8th inch with a dremel tool. You can cut either end, the effect is to lengthen the cable relative to the outer covering. (There have been previous posts that describe this procedure).

You probably need to loosed the seat and use the excellent description given in the other posts to get the two tracks lined up again.
