Greetings from the Canadian prairies, just got myself a decent '87 IDI, quite pleased so far with the purchase. Hope to learn a lot (and eventually contribute) here in the forum.

(Already having issues and a low clutch pedal...let the research begins!)

Cheers,
GN

Welcome! - from the coast :cheers:

Check the clutch pedal linkage under the dash. Its common for the bushing to be shot... or even much further gone than that.

Thanks u2slow, will check that. The previous owner changed the clutch in March, I would imagine the whole system was inspected also... but you never know.

Low hydraulic oil maybe? Will top it off...I hope is not anything serious.

Check the clutch master fluid... but its most likely the mechanical stuff.

Not only was the bushing shot on my '95 F350, but half the pin was worn away, and the pushrod hole ovalled.

The cup is full, there is a rubber liner and the cap, I wonder if there is air in the system...

Bushing looks new to me...the truck has very low mileage, I imagine is original:

Looks really good!

But do check for play at the pivot with the red cotter clip.
