The cable just needs to be adjusted. But before adjusting, look at the bottom of rear backing plate where the cable hooks to the shoe adjuster. Thid should have no tension on it. They are bad about freezing yo. Spray them with lubricant and use a hammer and punch to move the adjuster. Do this on both sides until the adjuster is freed up and the cable moves freely. After that, on the back of where the spring is, there is a little clip. Pull pr pry that clip until it loosens up. The spring will put the proper tension on the cable. Place the clip back in the locked position. Good luck.
