Maybe need to bleed the slave or your fork could be off the pivot ball

If you know how to tinker, it's free. If its off the pivot just pull the slave off the trans and get it back aligned. Bleeding its simple too, just don't forget to bleed it from the engine bay(near the ps resivoir) as well as the slave.

If im correct Wouldnt i need to pull out the trans to get to the pivot since the fork slippeed out of the clip on the bearing?

It all depends on what really happened. If you slipped a ball you might just be able to wiggle it back on. Now a broken ball is a diff story ha ha. Do you have an auto shop near you that lends tools like advance? If so look for a borescope and then you can see what really went wrong. Even though a trans pull isn't the worst it's still a major PITA. Especially those top two bell housing bolts...
