SX spur gear moving away from pinion under acceleration?
Took my SX out for its first run today (yeah, I know... procrastination is my middle name
 ) and I ended up stripping the spur.  When I picked up the car and spun up the motor I could see the spur visibly moving away from the pinion! It's fine when I slow down again, so I'm thinking there are more than 3 screws I need to tighten to fix the mesh. I can see two underneath the rear bulkhead with the round heads, and the one behind the idler gears. There's one underneath the motor that I can reach through the slot in the chassis, though I gather that's just the motor clamp. They're all tight, so what's left? I haven't got a manual, so any suggestions before I go download one and find out the obvious for myself?  The car isn't brand new - I bought it off ebay and from what I can gather, it's only been run once or twice. Nowhere near enough to have bent a layshaft or anything... I hope!

The new black spur gears that Schumacher are now supplying should stop this from happening..

Ok, I took the spur off and as suggested, the hole is melted. Layshaft doesn't look bent. The slipper was quite tight but I guess there's a lot of torque in those motors...
Where do I get the new black spurs? I can't see them on the Schumacher site. Have they filtered through to retailers yet?
