That chocolate cottage cheese may have been transmission fluid mixed in with your engine coolant (transmission cooler in radiator ruptured), which means you could have been getting engine coolant in the transmission. What does the fluid on your transmission dipstick look like? If the transmission fluid is contaminated, it could cause a lot of problems in the transmission. If you suspect this, have a transmission shop check it out. Just changing the transmission fluid will not correct this, as there will be a lot of fluid that doesn't drain out - in the torque converter, valve body, and all the passages and clutches.
This can be caused by the breakdown of the newer long life coolants, the early formulations broke down and do this exactly as you described, have the tank cleaned and flush the system and refill with the newer coolant that doesn't break down and turn to goo.
check the dipstick for the same, if it looks like cottage cheese with oil on it then you are getting coolant in the oil. Many possible answers here: cracked head or block, warped head, bad head gasket. there is also just condensation that too many short trips didn't evaporate. You don't want to ignore the leak if there is one.
you need to use vw/audi coolant. Go to either a Volkswagen or Audi dealership. IT's not cheap and comes as a concentrate (dilute 50/50), but you run the risk of growing cottage-cheese-like clumps in your cooling system if you mix a different type of coolant.
