[brokenbit]

Hello I am new her, I am trying toget the correct pat number for the swtich on top of drill that chages thespeed of the drill from hi to low.. this is on a dewalt dw953 type 3.

I just bought this drill used and I see no differeance in speed of chuck when I slide the switch forward or back. would like to repair if possible..

I just bought this off of ebay. with out battery, so I install a 14.4v battery just to see if everything worked.. this hi/low gear switch is only thing I find wrong

thank you for and help and responses

Hi Brokenbit. That gear selector switch on top of your Dewalt DW953 is mechanical, not electrical, so it's possible that replacing it will not fix your problem. It seems more likely that you have an issue with the gearbox, specifically with the switch's mechanical connection to the gearbox. If the previous owner had the drill apart, he/she may not have reattached the selector switch properly. You might want to check that.
