No on the split seats. They have the same "pull-button" on top of the seat back sholders that fold the back forward. Then once the back folds flat, the base release for the tumble. The two cables per seat mentione above run down the sides of the back and then underneath the base where they pull the hook-lock and release the base.

The design of the cable ends is a small metal "rod" that is swaged on the cable end. The rod has an s-type bend so that it has an offset. This offset end feeds through a hole in the seat bracket and then lock in place where the offset step is. Kind of hard to explain, but a pic would make total sense. It's where the offset is that both of my cable breaks happened.

I think I already mentioned in a different thread that due to the $39 cables not being available, I bought a pair of JY seats for $50 just to pull the cables. I figured I already needed two just to fix what I had, so two more on the shelf must not be a bad idea.

Every Montero from 96-2000 has four of these cables. Don't know if the Gen IIIs are the same. I absolutely cannot believe that Mitsu doesn't have them avaialable any longer.
