Slow landing gear is usually the result of the following issues:

1. low battery voltage
2. bad ground for the jack motor
3. lack of lubrication on the jack screws and pinion gear

The motor could be bad, but I would check the above mentioned things first before you replace the motor.

For a replacement motor the part # LG-142178 would work as it is confirmed to fit Venture, Atwood and Lippert landing gear.
