Dewalt doesn't have a DC987 chain saw. They do have a cordless drill with that model number and you can find a good parts diagram at www.ereplacementparts.com. Put the model number in the search by block and you'll get a good breakdown and a list of what parts are still available. NOTE: Shop around once you get the part number, ereplacementparts isn't always the cheapest place to get parts.

Clutch is part of the transmission assy - yes it is about the only thing that it can be causing your issue. It is a fairly inexpensive and easy fix on Makita - the worst part is removing the chuck.

could be the clutch needs replaced, but I would check to make sure the high/low switch is fully engaged. Inside the clutch there is ring gear that could have the teeth rounded off I would go to Makitatools.com and type in your model number for a breakdown so you can see what you are getting into, they are not that hard if you are mechanically inclined and just watch how you do it.

Hello Matt - I recommend that you get your drill to the nearest Dewalt service center. That way you know it will be done right and under warranty. Go to this site to find your closest dewalt service center:
