s6 issues starting to manifest trans, oil, steering, belt

[Allflashnocash]

2013 s6 APR stage I w/38k miles. I've been indecisive on TCU and stage II upgrade. During this time a few issues have started manifest.

Note: I have not had any updates to the software, APR nor Audi, in a couple of years. Dealership has done all the services and the 35k was done Jan. 2016.

Trans is clunky at times. Worse than the typical annoyance. Noticing a big delay on hard acceleration during passing. This issue has me concerned. Not sure if this is an indicator off a major trans issue.

Oil consumption for the first time. Used a quart in the last 3500-4000k miles.

Steering column is making noise like it needs lubrication. Doesn't do it all the time. Just periodically.

Belt is beginning to squeak when starting up at times when car sits for a few days.

There's a TSB for squeaky steering wheels, there's a rubber seal that squeaks.
