Thanks for the info, Ken.

Regarding the trans pan, Peter has suggested bending the dipstick tube
rather than replacing the pan.  It looks like it will only need to be bent a
little bit in order to clear the distributor.  If that doesn't work well,
I'll replace the pan.

I did one of these.  You do attach the bracket to the side of the trans.  I
believe we got ours to fit without drilling.  The spring attaches to the
kick
down lever very easily when you pull the old linkage off of it (remove the
one bolt and the linkage that would normally go to the throttle valve).  You
just put that hook on the spring in the hole on the kick down arm.  Then
pull
the bracket on the passenger side of the transmission to where you think it
should go (tapped holes are already in the side of the tranny for the
bracket) and then attach it.  Have you gotten your pan from the Audi 5000
auto yet?  (How else were you going to move the dipstick from the left to
the
right where it needs to be?)

Thanks,
