Extra clearance is for the 5speed box no? Rather than the CVH itself. Could be wrong.

If it’s post 84 they were available with a 5 speed CVH, so it should just be a part number check - if the tie bar and bracket are different in the Valencia/CVH applications, the odds are it needs changing  |

The only clearance issues are on the n/s for the length of the 5 seed gearbox, it needs the inner wing beating into shape or cutting and welding. For the amount of work involved you may as well go to zetec rather than cvh, it only needs one engine mount making.

the gearbox mod is only needed on the mk1 fieseta , he has a mk2 , the drivers side tiebar may need changing as the alternater may rub on it
