I've got an EARLY ib5 on my cvh. it bolts straight up, with the starter on the front. the only thing is you need the changeover year release bearing, cos the std cvh and the std zetec one are useless. one doesn't fit at all and the other "sticks" so the clutch just slips horribly.

The RST LSD goes straight in though.

the mounts bolt straight up on mine, then use the mk4 cradle as std. i dont know however with the starter being on the back sorry.
