Transmission problem
1991 Chevy Astro 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently tried to replace the speedometer cable in my 1991 chevy astro van but when I detached the sheath from the transmission the internal cable would not pull freely from trans only allowing the sheath to only raise about an inche and a half above the trans. I was wondering why it did not all pull free so I could run a new cable inside the sheath and how I may fix this problem.
