This is a wild shot, as I have no A4 familiarity, but sometimes on the
earlier cars, very difficult shifting has been due to the shifter
linkage itself (from the shift lever mount through to the tranny
actuator) being worn/broken.  You might give it a look, it's cheaper
than a used transmission.

Although he seems to specialize in earlier cars, you should still try 
Chris at Force 5 (see AF vendor list).  If he doesn't have a used unit 
he might be able to help you source one?
