It gets expensive real quick without much guarantees while the labour costs keep increasing.

Have you tried a transmission flush as a 'cheapish' option to see if it does anything?

My mate with his own garage (pretty clued up on Audi's) drove it a few feet and with the 'mettalic' noises coming from the box, he's positive there's bearings but more probably gears lunching themselves.

As you say, lots of other expenditure, particularly labour can soon mount!
