Default 95 audi 90 quattro tranny problem

well on my way home from work today my tranny popped out of 2nd gear while driving so i tried to stop and get into first no good lost first. still had 3rd 4th 5th and reverse. tried to make it home with 3rd then lost 3rd! so i had to drive 2 1/2 miles back to my shop in REVERSE still got reverse tho. needless to say i need a new transmission.unless some one thinks it could be something stupid but doubt it haha .its been making an awful noise for a few months now.
what i need to no i 2 things
1. there is 2 different manual trannys 'cbr' and 'cvx' need to no where to find out which.
2. how much of a pain is it to change the trans in this beast.

thank, Tony

i dont think its the clutch because it goes into all the gears fine.
when i let the clutch up it grinds and pops out of gear even if i hold it there.

on this website car-part.com it gives you 2 choices cbr and cvx code transmissions. not sure if it even matters but theres a huge price difference.

Default trunk

In the trunk under the mat where the spare tire is there should be a sticker with codes on it .One of them will be your tranny code.Also paint code there.
good luck
