AFA clutch and flywheel - no biggie, just get clutch and PP for a later model car and they bolt

FN's are older than '86.  They were applied in the early 80's.
ETKA says '8/81 - 7/83 Jetta, 1/80 - 3/81 Rabbit, 8/81 - 7/83 Scirocco..

Date code says 27 (day), 05 (month, May), 2 (year, has gotta be 82).

It won't bolt up wrong if memory serves...there are locating pins on the perimeter that prevent
