Flywheel Swap



Spring has sprung, and the snow is in retreat. Time to get the cars back on
the road.
I am in the middle of replacing the clutch on my daughter's 82 Scirocco (1.7
& stock 5 speed transmission).   It looks like the flywheel is shot and will
need replacing (cracked and scored). I do have a perfect flywheel from an 83
Rabbit Gti  (U.S. Built) and a new matching clutch kit for the Gti. I could
save her a lot of money if the Gti parts (in particular the flywheel) are
compatible to the 1.7l  Anyone know if it is possible. I see the clutch is
larger than the 1.7 and the flywheel, although has the same diameter, the
height is different and the timing marks are not the same.
Thanks for the advise in advance.
