Yes. The tranny is very strong.

The problem is with the limp mode. It should cut ignition and engage limp mode only if the rpm is below 1000. Limp mode is full pressure on 4th gear regardless of speed or rpm.

Re: 01032 can be done on 2001 A8L?

01032 and 00032 seem similiar but after bouncing back and forth between both I prefer 01032. Seem to upshift later, down shift earlier. That's about it.
