An actuator transfer assembly comprising an actuator (18), a driven object (16, 116), a pushrod (19) or shaft (119), a disconnect housing (24, 124), a transfer member (50) movable relative to the housing from a first position in mechanical engagement with the pushrod or shaft such that the housing translates or rotates with the pushrod or shaft and a second position in mechanical disengagement from the pushrod or shaft such that the housing does not translate or rotate with the pushrod or shaft, a bias element (34) biasing the transfer member towards the first position, and a retainer (44, 53) configured to automatically retain the transfer member in the second position when the transfer member moves from the first position, wherein the transfer member is configured to move from the first position to the second position when a force on the pushrod or a torque on the shaft exceeds a predetermined threshold breakout force or torque.
