Default Shopping list for 2001 S8 Part III

Yet another request for advice & part numbers please?

While I am doing all of the other work to my car I would also like to take this opportunity to drop the autobox sump and replace filters, clean magnets and whatever else wants doing as a brand new box was fitted @45k miles ago as well as replacing a leaking output shaft seal that is leaking fluid onto the left hand cat so I need to take these into account as well.

Gearbox filter(s)
Gearbox sump gasket
Output shaft seal
Audi Transmission fluid
Fluid for final drive after replacing leaking seal
Any other items, seals/gaskets, bolts etc. etc...

Also since the new box was fitted and after driving @30 miles or so the speedometer starts to 'hunt' and makes the cruise control unusable because it is always surging to try and maintain what it thinks is the correct speed.

I am guessing it could be the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and if so is this easy to replace?

And once again might some kind soul have the part number for this please?

I am wondering whether it might work out cheaper to buy another car but then aagain I know the history of this one as I have owned it for the last 4 years and I could buy another one that might need a similar amount of money spent on it!

Thanks & kind regards,
