is a 6-speed? could happen easy, even on a lightly modded car. I have never had any problems with might yet though, but my car is an A4 and light weight.

It happens...sometimes if theres a ding in the shaft, it will break. I've heard of people breaking them with a stock car on street tires, but then there are the guys cutting 1.4 60's with no problems.
