MR2??? I have a 2000 Toyota MR2 and need to replace the engine lid (rear hood) release cable. I see that it runs through the passenger side firewall, then behind the seats somewhere, and down through the driver side sill panel. Is there any tricks that anyone knows to make this as painless as possible? I can't find any repair manuals for this car either. If anyone knows where to get one or who publishes one, please help with that too. Thanks!!!

There is a bulletin on this vehicle from back in 2001 that relates to a spring kit available to allow easier opening of the latch assembly. The bulletin # is B0021-01. Your Toyota dealer can get you the parts required. As far as the replacement of the cable just start at the release and follow the cable if you can. Pull all panels required to access. Some can be difficult to get to so if you can use the old one to pull the new one through areas you can't get to.
