No ideea i took my car to the a shop and they replaced the transmision. We called the audi shop to ask what kind of lube to put in it and they told me 75w-100 Gear Lube. I never heard of that so i was looking for some help. I guess the guy at audi was an idiot.

I'm sure they didn't know it was a shush box. Put Redline D4 ATF or Amsoil Universal ATF in there.

I've never seen 75-100 gear lube.
