Those who have stripped a spur, do you have the wedge shaped centerline chassis weight? Conversely, if you haven't stripped a spur, do you have this weight? Just a thought.

No I have stickie weights in my car . Now I am running a D3.5 with a revtech end bell which has more surface area . How is ur spurs stripping ?? Is motor moving or is mount flexing or motor tweaking ? How much gap u have between motor and chassis ? As I have said (along with a few others ) the slots r oversized and motor can twist. So make sure u push motor towards chassis every time u tighten motor this should put motor extremely close to chassis to minimize flex with the mount . But if anyone what's to trade a 2012+$ for a their T4 pm me ?

I noticed that some pinions (bigger ones) will make contact with the motor screw heads.

So now I am wondering: Where I can find where xray stated the motor mount is a tuning aid for flex?

Is the spur issue when you run 64p or 48p or either?

I wonder if it would help to fill the space between the motor and the machined area under the motor? If the motor to chassis gap changes at all, then the spur and pinion are no longer co-planar, and that would kill the spur in short order even if the mesh is perfect.
Not sure what to use to fill the gap, though. Something similar to a wheel chock or door stop.

Make sure the screws aren't bottoming out in the motor before becoming properly tight against the mount.

If you still have the stripped spur in your car fit a new spur of the same size without moving the motor. Check the mesh with the new gear installed.....did the motor move?

When building it, just like the rear split suspension holders can twist slightly, so can the layshaft bulkheads. I was careful tightening mine to make sure they were straight. Could this be the problem people are having?
Maybe XRAY could include a small block that snugly fits between the bulkheads if turned one way and a little wider if you turn it the other way, to just fit between the split suspension blocks. Just for keeping them dead straight while assembling.
