Default wtf bent the **** out of my clutch release fork

wtf? i have never seen this happen before...

i was driving to get some food with my friends and come to a stop, push the clutch in put the tranny in neutral and the pedal is on the floor so i pushed the car out of the street popped the hood and the slave was pushed all the way out and fluid was everywhere, it was a brand new slave too piece of crap

looked down and the clutch release fork was bent to **** how the hell could that have happened?

setup is a 95 civic hatch with 98 type r swap s80 ls case with b16 1st - 5th 4.266 ls final drive clutch specialties 2600 pound pressure plate on street disc...

this all happened at night so i couldnt see ****, i just drove it home shifting without the clutch, ive had to do it before so it was no problems, just the red lights with cops around

but anyone have any idea why it would just bend like that ?

Improperly adjusted clutch pedal? Although it would have to be WAY out of whack, that's all I can think of.

how do you adjust a hydraulic system??? its been fine for 2 years with the clutch setup, just out of nowhere snapped like that i was coming up to a stop pushed the clutch in, then the car just jolted and died,

oh well i got a new one and got a new clutch with a less stiff pressure plate so hopefully it doesnt happen again
