Default Audi gurus help

I changed the oil on my car last night. This morning i drove it and the transmission is acting wierd. Im freaking out thinking I drained the automatic transmission fluid on accident. Under the car it was the only plug i could find, it was an 8 mm allen and about 4 quarts came out.
Did i eff my **** up?

Yes you did. Don't drive the car and get you tranny fluid replaced. I don't want to admit it but i have done the exact same thing before but at least got a tranny oil change out of it.

when i did this i had my car towed to an audi mechanic that drained the rest of my tranny fluid and replaced it with some new synthetic there is a diy somewhere on how to replace tranny fluid but i heard that you need to be connected to vag com and have the fluid pumped in at a certain temperature.

You're going to need to make it possible. The oil drain is on the pan next to where the cooler and filter are.

Take a look at the DIY procedure and see whether it's something you can do with the tools and such that you have. If not, flatbed it to a dealer or a shop that specializes in euro cars and knows Audis. Going to a normal shop, they'll just fill it and call it a day and you'll be paying for a job done wrong.
