symptoms of a broken throw out bearing?

i did a search to no avail.

what are the symptoms of a broken throw out bearing?

also, what are the symptoms of a broken clutch fork, with or without a broken pivot pin

good question I have one of the two right now. I have pedal pressure and the hydrolics are fine but the clutch won't dissengauge. I'm assuming that my fairly new throwout bearing failed for some reason. does hard shifting or launches effect the throw out bearing?

A bent or broken clutch fork or a broken piviot will change the engagement point of the clutch.

Release bearings usually seize, not break.
