symptoms of a broken throw out bearing?

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.

well i took out my throwout bearing and i find that one of the flanks (i dont know what to call it, wings maybe?) broke.

and im concuring with trochoid on the fact that the engagement point changes. my clutch dissengaged 2 inches into the pedal push
