Took them one day to rebuild it, well they put a heavy duty Kevlar clutch in, which after googling seems quite good and rebuilt the torque converter. Everything else in gearbox was rock solid. Ben should have it back in the car by tomorrow. Paid the company £1004.38.
I really hope the gearbox feels super smooth after handing over that amount of money. Still need to pay Ben then send the invoice to the AA who will then send me the cheque for £475, have to pay £25 excess. 
Quick question, PaulW on Audipages says to only use Audi fluid. The gearbox place gets it from somewhere else but its the same spec, so I told them to supply the gearbox 'dry' and Ben will fill it with genuine Audi fluid.
Is the Audi fluid really that important? The box gets a free service in 1k miles and I don't think they will use Audi fluid then unless I supply it.
