Just driving around last night and my clutch began to not disengage easily, then I heard a snaping sound. I found out today that the clutch fork broke. I never saw the fork as a weak point, so I was wondering if anyone else had it fail?

Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure:

 

ouch! Any symptoms leading up to this...... I'm having clutch probs with my 83 ( see thread:clutch probs )

 

Well I thought my slave was getting weak, so it was probably cracked then eventually snapped.

 

Did it only make a crack that one time, or was it a common thing?

My car makes a thump whenever you put on the brakes... I hope nothing like this happens to it!

 

It still sucks having an automatic

 

This is the first time I've had a clutch fork break. I'm just curious if I should get a new one or use my spare, or reinforce my spare somehow.

 

Wow, that thing really snapped. Seems like one of those things that just breaks sometimes. Freak incident I would assume. Maybe less racing?

 

Wow, I hope that never happens to me.

 

WOW, i have never seen that happen ? Thats really odd

 

Damn,, stamped steel just snapped,,is your clutch assembly super HP,,or a long clutch or something crazy?
i'de say get a NEW one,,maybe you got that one in a
million fualty one,,,but still,,,man !!
