Sorry to hear about this Sarge. I had my gearbox rebuilt on my S8 last year for the below cost
Labour to Ben at Revo/AVP £250 to remove and refit but I asked him for another quote a few weeks back and he said it was £450 now. This might be Revo rates rather then AVP ones.
Rebuild cost with vat is going to be a minuim of £1300 now I reckon with the VAT rise. Also my gearbox problem seemed more simple then yours does.
Don't scrap the car, get a price on what A8 Parts will offer you and I will try and match it and keep it in one piece.
By the way. It was VMTP transmissions that did mine so you may want to have a chat with them. Let me know if I can help in any way
