Gear mesh is with a piece of paper between the spurs en clutchpinion.
I have never ever stripped any gear that wasn't already worn out in our Capricorns and Kyoshos we used to race; unless there was something else wrong with the car that caused it. I must however admit that we've had issues with with two other brands of cars. But then again it might have been lack of experience that caused it in the two other brands.
Inherent problems with any car; and the manufacturer's response to emerging problems, are usually well documented on public forums like this one however. Mugen has identified the problems with stripped spurs to the use of hard belts, so using soft belt will obviously prevent gear stripping.
Kindest regards,
