A4 chassis VW or Audi A4? In any case I can't speak directly to an 02A VW transaxle or whatever the Audi uses, but I have had excellent luck with Redline MT-90 in 020 transaxles (and old Borg-Warner T10s as well, although that means absolutely nothing relative to your query. The last one I used Heavy Shockproof at the recommend of a drag racing friend, and it is a little stiffer shifting but still eminently acceptable.)
