who has BENT a clutch release fork???
I recently thought I had, after using a twin diaphram pressure plate and 6-puck clutch with over 100lbs pedal pressure, but it was just a combination of the rubber hose in the clutch cylinder line expanding, and possibly the slave cyl starting to take a crap from the pressure. Regardless, wasn't the fork, which shouldn't be the first point of failure anyway.
I have seen the ball that the fork pivots on break and causing a bent fork, several times, I always replace the ball now with the rest of the clutch kit.
Always, my name and reputation goes on my work and for an extra few bucks its great insurance. I had to replace the very first one with the tranny still installed, I had to grind away enough aluminum bell housing (ground a long slot) where the dust boot covers the fork so I could get a wrench on the broken ball and remove it while tranny was still on the engine, it was even more fun installing the new one, you should have seen the MacGyver bungie cord to turn it in several threads, it was awesome, then a couple of quick wrench turns and it was done.
