Not sure which gear you're referring to, but by pressing it are you causing the brushes to make contact? Could be too much play in the shaft and/or weak brush springs.
Have you used a continuity tester on all of the connections? Maybe there's a solder joint that looks good but isn't, and it makes contact when you press.

Mallard. Thanks. The gear is the one in the front of the motor. It does have alittle play in it when I push on it. I did put in new springs. I will check again . Never did continuity yet. I will give that a try. Dan
