Dewalt DW987K-2 problem

[bryan2]

I have a DW987K-2 drill that i pulled apart due to a bad motor....while i was backing out the transmission all the gears fell out as well as this "pin" which was located along the outside edge of the Gearcase housing which was also spring loaded. Does anyone know which way this pin goes back in? there are a couple of different ways it could go back in.

Thank you!

I have a similar problem - dropped my drill into the ocean - got it back quickly - battery was fried, but drill is now fine, motor works great. I took transmission apart to wash and clean and now have a part left over - flat metal plate (anodized blue) and don't know exactly where it goes. Although I have it basically together, it's outside the plastic housing it lives in and not sure how, or in what order to get it back inside. Is there anyplace I can get an exploded parts diagram? Dewalt service guys here are useless. Laughed when i asked how to get it back together. They just buy new transmissions.

Hey guys,
You can stay with the trial an error but it is really better in the long run just to replace..
Here are some previous posts..

I have been able to reassemble [for the challenge..!] but better safe than sorry with just replacing...
