Me thinks it's your gear mesh. Sounds like the motor is pushed too hard agaist the spur gear making it bind between the teeth. I've had that same problem when I went with a larger clutch bell because the clutch bell with more teeth has a larger radius. THe 15 tooth bell has just enough room to fit.

yes, It will probably ruin the spur gear.

In that car the mounts are part of the crankcase. It's all preset if you still have the original .15FE engine in there. Just buy some motor mounts and use that instead of the built in ones and reset the gear mesh. If you run it too tight you will definitly destroy your new spur gear.
