Cant help with tranny other than saying I can find one under 500 in 5 minutes I bet. Evap system means a vacuum problem somewhere. And I'm assuming your o2 sensor is bad causing rich readings, nothing to do with tranny. Quattro tranny is probaly the hardest job in the car 12 hours by the book IIRC. requires a whole he'll of a lot of work so 2k at a shop really isn't that bad assuming they provide the tranny

fidn them in junkyards or salvage places or the interwebz

Vaccum controls a lot of things in your car too much to explain really. but if you have an evap code your RPM needle is probably bouncing a decent bit.

Map and massair? Theres a MAF which is what you see ontop of the pipe going to your air filter and an 02 sensor is in your exhaust before and after the cat

If your tranny is blown no a flush wont fix but it sounds kind of minor so a flush can only help. All your problems will get worse the longer you put them off. Vaccum is easy if its only the lines. Take your engine covers off and look for shitty looking braided hoses, they are probally cracked. replace with silicone. You can pull the codes at Autozone, that will help immensly and tell you which 02 is bad. 02 aint hard either. MAF is plug and play.

Auto or 5 speed? If it's slipping now with old fluid flushing it will actually do more harm than good at this point.

ITS NOT ALOT OF slipping but the car take 2 seconds to engage back into frist gear after doing a complete stop.

oh the car is lacking in power.
