clutch fork slip off the throw out bearing?

[Ne76K5]

hey guys.. just wondering if anybody has ever had your clutch fork slip off your throw out bearing... i pushed in my clutch and heard a loud clank and now the fork is no longer on the bearing could this be a tweaked fork or just bad luck??

i dont think it could move far enought to slide off. must be the spring that snap fork too the pivot ball.

i had it happen. either the fork was tweaked and i didnt see it or the adjustment was way out on the pushrod. things went flying and the pressure plate and bellhousing took a hit. id put a new throwout bearing clutch kit and fork in there and call it good

pivot ball could be worn to sh*t.

On my old Jeep, many many years ago, the pivot ball wore completely through the fork.
