Unhappy Need a transmission

I am going to buy a used A4 B5 transmission.
But I got this list.
A.T., 2.8L, exc. Quattro; code DCS
A.T., 2.8L, Quattro, code CJP
A.T., 2.8L, exc. Quattro; code CJY
A.T., 2.8L, exc. Quattro; code DRD
A.T., 2.8L, Quattro, code DRN

I know my car is A4 2.8 V6 Quattro. How to know that which one is good for my car?
Thanks,

What year is your car ?

CJP would be for 96/97.

DRN should be for 98-01.

Since you have quattro you wouldn't want one that says exc. (excluding?) quattro.

EXC means Except Quattro, basically telling you that it is a FWD Transmission.

If you crawl under your car you will find the 3 digit code on the bottom of your transmission.

Clear explaination Mike-2ptzero, thank you.
I just brought one for $500, which is '98 and 110000 miles. Is the deal OK?

A little on the high side for that many miles but not by much.
