i'm in the same boat
the verdict is blown clutch F seal
just for kicks i called the NYC Audi dealer.
$6,700 for a remanufactured tranny.
i asked him if this was normal for a 6 year old A8, and he said, "eh, you know, wear and tear"

Looks like you and your chap are (somewhere) in EU...
...can't make out yer tag.
Reason I ask is, what year //S8 is it? Just curious. Hoping (HOPING) it's older than '01(!!!), more miles, etc. I am, hoping.
Question to the beknownst of you for the unbeknownst (me)... did the early //S8's utilize the same gearbox as our US cars??? Um, hoping NOT.
Hopping into the recent warranty GP is making me feel all tingly right now, it is. Thanks again Senor Mendel.
Good luck to yer chap. And, Comic Book Guy seyz _best_color_ever_ to your car Mr. Baldry!!! Very nice...

If you guys ever need something answered, just post it here to find me.
