If you release the seat with the knob on the door side so that it tilts all the
way forward, you can see the round hinge points at the bottom of the seat back.
The hinge is part of the seat back and tilts forward with the seat.
If you can work the seat back adjustment handle when the seat is tilted
forward, you can see the mechanism release (move up and down)at the hinge next
to the transmission tunnel.
I realize this is not much better than my first explanation. Maybe somebody
else can chime in. I have not found a less expensive replacement yet either,
so for now my passengers cannot adjust their seat.

A recent post said you could see the seatback mechanism if you tilted the
seat forward
and then lubricate it. I don't seem to see it. Can you describe more
fully what to look for?
And yes, I too broke one of those nicely chromed handles, and wouldn't mind
getting a
replacement for less than the ~$40 quoted price!
