Owners who have flushed, etc., havn't extended the lives of their transmissions beyond that figure.

Oh really... Just becoz Toyota says so does not become god's words. Now will Toyota come and help me once the power train warranty is up.
Mr/Ms K: You need to stop this cock and bull story and get yourself a life.. Remember in America not many own their vehicles beyond 100K (since all vehicles are designed just for 100K, after that the suspension falls apart etc). If you want to put in the 500K magic # quoted, you will need to do 5 suspension upgrades, 5 paint jobs, 2/3 engine/tranny rebuilds with the PM schedule provided by OEMs.
So honestly, those who flush their trannies are safe with their trannies. Remember everything on the vehicle is cheap and replaceable baring engine and tranny.
