The majority of the time I don't even go past 3k. Most of the times I've had problems were when downshifting (and yes into the proper gear/ RPM). I really don't drive like an animal, yet I've still shot pinions through the bell housing, broken flywheels and pressure plates into 3+ pieces, and broken diffs loose a few times.

By no means am I trying to turn this in to a debate. I agree with with you for the most part.

Robofunc- Just take your time shifting... not necessarily double clutching, but atleast two seperate movements (gear to neutral, neutral to gear) until you get a feel for how she likes to be shifted.
