no they arent, the only thing different is the electrical aspect, if you take the wires and brain off your gen 2 track and swap it over to the gen 1 track it will work. the frames and motors are the same, only the harness and brain are different. the gen track also has one hole on the side that is different from a gen 2, but you can still put your gen 2 bolt through it, it will work.

Take Gen 2 seats and remove the leather and foam, do the same to a set of gen 1 seats and switch everything over...

I'd prolly go that route... it isn't that hard to strip the seats...
I sold the Gen 2 covers and foams from my 97 parts car to a guy with a 95...
