[A8] A8 transmission inquiry?

[mickeytryan1 at cox.net]

I just bought a 2000 A8 Ming Blue in great condition but blown tranny.  Is it tru there is a stick shift 6speed replacement option?  Is it ZF or where can I get one?  What are the costs and in general what can anyone tell me?  Thanks everyone. Mike

Subject: [A8] Parts car

Anybody out there have a parts car with a driveshaft? It would seem that my father sold my driveshaft and exhaust system while I had my transmission out recently. Ill build a new exhaust system since this car needs a tiny bit more sound anyways, but I'm going to need a driveshaft. Closer to NC the better, I have a feeling shipping is going to suck. These cars are very few and far between down here (I've worked for two of the biggest Audi shops within 100 miles for 5 years combined and mine is the only one I've ever seen) so I don't expect to find one nearby.
