Toyota uses metal screens that usually last the life of the transmission unless you go rabbit hunting and smash the pan or some such other activity.

Yup, there's a rectangular screen that you should pull off and hose out with brake clean. Be careful you don't tear it. Besides the pan gasket, you'll need a new gasket for the screen. Don't forget to also clean off the magnets that are in the bottom of the pan.
