No, I didn't, although I did ask them to several times and Toyota said it wasn't necessary given the age and mileage. The car was still under factory warranty so I didn't want to argue with them. Alas, this is where we ended up.

The tech has programmed the ECU to run on some kind of limp mode so the car is still drivable, albeit it doesn't have the pep it once had, and the grinding noise isn't as evident as it was before. So until the transmission is at the dealership, they've told me it's okay to drive around like this for the next while.
