Looks like a bad day, seen a lot of DSM ones bend and break, and a few evo ones bent, but never snapped off like that.

I've seen that once before on my buddys 03 VIII, I was skeptical that was the issue but when we pulled the trans sure enough it looked just like that.

after talking to comp clutch i think we may not have the clutch pedal stop adjusted correctly and it was over pressing the TOB to the cover finding the weakest point being the clutch fork ears and snapped them... time to re adjust the pedal and pedal stop so this doesnt happen again@!

I happened to me 2 years ago driving a toyota with a ACT stage 3 clutch with stage 2 HD pressure plate.
It can happen when you down shift fast and the pressure plate fins are too aggressive (HD pressure plate) n also when no peddle stop...
Only happens with aggressive push type clutches on the standard clutch fork.
