The only way to know for sure is to know the complete VIN of your vehicle.
Hi, according to the datacard and as you rightly pointed out, the gearbox in your G is obviously a 717.422. I don't know why they are offering the part for a 711, but they must be obviously wrong.
I have, however, searched for the part nos of your G. You might find that they are actually cheaper than the aftermarket parts (because they are reconditioned):
Clutch pressure plate (5): A0023509104/80, € 99.74
Clutch disc (8): A0092502303/80, € 121.82
Release bearing (56): A0002505115, € 37.10
Gasket (74): A4602511280, € 8.90
Cheers
By the way, the 711.XXX is the four speed gearbox, while yours is obviously a 5-speeder.
Cheers
