I think that the cheaper models have plastic / nylon gears in the gearbox that can strip. If you make a mould of a good part of the gear you can use it to recast the stripped section  with epoxy and glass fibre strand / tissue.

@Neilybob, before you disassemble the drill, just check to ensure that there isn't any accumulated debris or a splinter preventing the speed or forward/reverse selectors from being fully pushed into position.
