Default Bad Throughout Bearing

Hey guys. As you probably know, I switched to manual about 6 weeks ago. Starting about a week ago, I've been hearing a light vibration noise. Well this morning I went under my car to adjust the clutch cable becausethe engagement point was really high. Then I noticed all of the play in the clutch fork. I looked up in there and noticed that the retainer fell off the throughout bearing allowing all of the ball bearing to fall out. Any idea what could have caused this? Crappy throughout bearing maybe? What throughout bearing do you guys suggest?

Did you install a new throwout bearing?
If you did, then the only time I have seen bearings of any kind die that fast were made in China.
