Another thing, if you have 38k undocumented miles I would seriously consider a complete fluid change.
Oil
Radiator
Brakes
Power steering
Transmission
Transfer case
etc,
Make sure the plugs were done and of course, the timing belt and water pump. You'll be ready for 300k!
Good point. Do you recommend a flush or is drain/removal sufficient? If dran/removal is ok, I'll do it on my own but if a flush where 100% of the old fluid needs to be removed i'll take it to a shop.

As you are probably aware, there aren't a lot of reported problems with these transmissions so apparently, they are bulletproof but clean fluid certainly won't hurt it. Personally, I would do a drain and refill.
If you are feeling especially generous and ambitious you might consider complete removal and replacement with Toyota WS fluid or a similar synthetic.
