Well, just to add on to this thread, I just did another transmission lube change at ~54K miles. First was at 10K with warranty work; wrong lube was initially used and then dumped and replaced with the correct Toyota LV 75W fluid. Second change was by me at ~25K with the same Toyota fluid. This weekend I used Amsoil 75W-90 GL4 lube, and frankly, I don't like it. Noticeably notchier shifting, harder to get into first, even with double clutching on a slow roll. The transmission IS much quieter at idle in neutral though, which is interesting...
I'll probably give it 1000 miles; if things haven't improved, I'm dumping it and going back to the Toyota fluid, price be damned.
