That "stuff" is not something the Toyota factory engineers think you need to know. You see, they don't recommend all this "flushing" stuff. Or pan removal. Or filter cleaning. They recommend simply periodically draining and refilling the 2-3 quarts in transmission oil pan only. Owners who have followed that advice have driven up to 550,000 miles without needing a transmission overhaul. Owners who have flushed, etc., havn't extended the lives of their transmissions beyond that figure.
