i did just what ehroof and clermont told me too and did the paper trick. same as the thickness of a hair, to get the mesh right. i've had my volcano chassis deep in hard snow. so hard the tires wouldn't spin in fact. but my spur is fine.
proper mesh is important.

Insert a piece of paper in between the teeth of the gears. Get them close enough that you can pull the piece of paper through and you have it set after its tightened.
Proper mesh. There should be No holes where the gears have pierced the paper. The paper should be still fairly crease free as well.

you run a piece of paper between the spur and clutch bell, it should come out perforated but not torn, there should be a tiny bit of play between the gears.

If you have a 2 speeds transmission make sure that both gears are meshed correctly. It is possible to have it at an angle so one gear feels like its meshed fine and the other is too tight. The paper trick should prevent this but just double check. Make sure once you get it back together and meshed correctly that you feel the amount of play in the gears for future reference. Once you know what it should feel like then you wont need to hassle with the paper.

RE: disapointment with sh .18
How are you supposed to correctly mesh the 2speeds? iv'e tryed the paper trick and cant get the paper out in one peice, and if i manage to get it out in one peice, the mesh is way to loose..anyone else have this problem?
