How far back did the cable you replaced go? I think there may be rear cables that could be the issue… once inside the drum the cable pulls a pivot arm that actuates the shoes to engage the brake. I haven't messed with mine since it is in pieces, but I believe there is a set of rear cables that run from the trans crossmember back to the drums through the trailing arms...
Hope this helps...
