Your mode switch may in fact be "bad". It may be easily rebuildable. I think it is more likely that a vacuum hose either came loose or has a hole in it. A bad vacuum leak or a really leaky mode switch can cause the wrong positions of the actuators so you won't get the air going correctly through the A/C. Start by rebuilding the mode switch and make sure all the vacuum hoses are hooked up correctly. When in the MAX position (if everything is working right) you pull in outside air and shut off the heater core. If it is VERY hot outside then Max will not cool as well as A/C. Max is meant to cool off a really hot car when you first get in when the air inside the car is hotter than the air outside the car. Once you get the car cool inside you should not stay in MAX. If you hear a hissing noise when you use the brakes you may have a problem with your vacuum booster for the brakes.
