Its an a4ld (assuming you have auto).. The a4ld started life as a c3, then they added another gear, and lockup torque converter...

Anything you can do to keep it clean and keep it cool will help..

You may want to add a drain plug to the pan while you have it out to make the next fluid change easier. You might also consider adding an auxilliary transmission filter. If you do a search you will find a write up on it.

do they have a aftermarket pan with one or should i just weld a bung and make it work?

Hello Bung! No pans sold with a drain plug. They do sell a combo magnetic plug and threaded base at O'Reilly so you can braze it to the low spot of your pan. Oh. drill a hole first <heh?
