Holy f0ck1ng cow - I did the heim joint clutch mod on an 88 idi yesterday and it's like driving a new truck, cannot even believe I was driving it before. The old clutch action didn't seem horrible but was definitely a left leg workout, i also got pretty used to pulling up the pedal with my toe every few shifts. i'm almost speechless the difference is so drastic.
but f0ck1ng h3ll it was a bear to get er done. the splined fittings that need to be removed on the clutch connections are a major pita to remove, was able to stick a chisel in from where the clutch master cylinder fits through the firewall and hit with a hammer to remove.
was it worth it? h3ll yeah. do i want to do it again? h3ll no.
if you have sloppy clutch action i definitely recommend the heim joint mod but just be persistent.
feeling better with the idi as a daily now
