The passenger side hood latch won't release. Tugging on cable under drivers side feels slack. Is there a way to reach the latch and release it. I cannot open my hood?

NOT OPEN YET - I WILL MAKE MY ATTEMPTS OVER THE WEEKEND. MY HANDS ARE LARGE SO GETTING IN UNDER THE HOOD AT FIREWALL WILL BE INTERESTING.
MAY NEED SOME TIME ON THIS JOB. DON'T WANT TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF TRANNY SLIPPING, IT NEEDS FLUID.
Crossfire1982. Any pictures you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure of the latch mechanism that needs to be yanked.

Glad they were helpful. Unless you have the wiper trough cover you may be able to do with a long "custom bent" screwdriver. A towel over your windshield may save a scratch or two.
