Default Had the Tranny TSB done yesterday (hooting)
I had my 2005 SWB in yesterday to the dealer for a service and for the hooting transmission. They did a nice job, I am very pleased. According to them, this is what the TSB calls for:

*Flush tranny fluid
*Replacement of existing transmission fluid (some really expensive blue stuff -- they said the fluid itself is $1k...not sure I buy it)
*Update transmission software

They did say that it could keep doing it for 300 to 500 miles as the fluid gets all the way through. Mine was quiet after their work, I think they did a throrough job. (Work done by MAG in Columbus, OH).

Just fyi

Default $1,000 for fluid
I'm glad they went from $22/liter to something like $125/liter.

Good move Audi.

Default I'm covered to 100k miles
So, if it blows, it's on them

I'll likely get rid of it after 80k or so anyway, so I'm not terribly concerned.
