I'm still not getting how it works. Less teeth on spur+more teeth on gear=more torque? More teeth on spur+less teeth on gear=faster speed? Can some please answer my question?
 
No. That is exactly opposite. If you have more teeth on the spur, and less teeth on the clutch bell (gear) there will be more torque. If you have less teeth on the spur and more teeth on the clutch bell there will be way more top speed at the sacrifice of acceleration. I hope this helps. i'm not sure how to explain it anybetter.
 
Ah okay. I said my question wrong too, it was suppose to be clutch bell instead of gear, sorry about that! Thanks :D.
 
Yeah, like he said. It's like this...

If the spur is on the left and the CB is on the right...

Oo = more torque, less top speed
oO = less torque, highter top speed
