I made them send the broken 2nd gear part to Honda Japan, they said it was from downshifting. So my advice is try to use heal and toe or rev-it up a bit before letting the clutch go when down shifting.
It happened when I shifted from 1st to 2nd gear, not drop clutch. The tires where warm and sticky, the tarmac was clean and perfect; I mean no fishtail at all, pure traction, and new Bridgestone S03s also no clutch slippage at all.

Poor S you've had more go wrong with that one than all four of mine!
Anyway back on topic!
Buy a pair of used ones and spend the difference on some "mechanical sympathy"

it might of been on the verge of breaking and it just gave.
Only few things come in mind. Drifting or high whp launch. Unless you're pushing 500whp +++ were you drifting your car?
sorry, just had to throw that in there.
if you lived in GA, I maybe able to hook you up with parts and work...

shouldnt drifting be less stress on your drive components? you do have less grip and thats why the tires are spinning...the most load is when the tire is using its max traction...
