What happened to my clutch part two …..

[laynrubber]

This car !!!
So it has sat all winter, I go to move it this week and inching it out of the garage same thing happened as last fall. Clutch pedal goes to the floor, lurches forward now because the clutch is fully engaged. Jam my foot on the brake to stop the lurch. I already know what has happened.

The fork of the release bearing has slipped one side off the throw out bearing this losing the ability to disengage the clutch disc. Attached is a picture of the correct assembly.

The clips should “hold” the fork ends on the throw out bearing. It seems I can rotate the throw out bearing on the trans shaft (not easily) and that moves it enough to rotate one bearing clip out of the fork recess. This time when the pedal went dead to the floor the engine was running and one fork came off the pad of the throw out bearing. 
Any ideas ? ?

Sounds like your throw out bearing sleeve is binding it should rotate freely and that's probably why it's coming off your fork

The throw out brg is not spinning smoothly on the throw out brg sleeve or the sleeve is dropping off the trans front brg retainer.  Is it the correct throwout brg sleeve and brg for that trans brg retainer?

Here is some pictures of the various correct thowout assemblies from my Federal Catalog:

 

Hope this helps.
