Hi Bob,
Sorry to hear about your problems.
Don't have an idea about the others, but on #5:

Check if your back-up(reverse) lights are working.
The mirror dip is driven off the reverse switch.
No dip, no back up lights.

I'm told there's a switch sticking out of the tranny that is
activated by some internal component when the tranny is put
into reverse.  The switch is hard to get to with the tranny
mounted in the car, but not impossible.

I had the corresponding switch fail on my 95 A6 q automatic, and
on the automatic it's even worse to replace.  On the auto cars
you have to remove the left side tranny mount to get to it!
