So here's something interesting that happened to this clutch fork pivot, a local car at that!

The last picture is what makes me question what broke what. Which part broke first (TOB or Pivot) to cause the fork to rub against the bell housing. I don't truly have an answer, my guess would be TOB started to fail, causing a bending moment to be placed on the pivot which caused the pivot to ultimately fail. That's just a guess though, car has over 120k miles on it.

He drove the car like this for 20 or so miles to get it home one day, then to the shop the next.

Thanks,
Eric
