Sorry to hear of your problems. We feel your pain. I'm no expert here
(and there's surely some excellent reason why my suggestion is worthless),
but I would seriously consider trying to find a broken 5kQ and transplanting
your good parts (engine, ancillaries, interior, etc.) The initial outlay
would likely be
more, but look what you'd end up with. I would question the life expectancy
of a used slushbox in this application.

You think Mobil 1 and Militec can work miracles? I think the blame for the
transmission failure is clearly noted in your signature block:

It's obviously the AudiSport badge.
