People over react to asbestos, they think it's like mustard gas that will immediately kill you with cancer. It's not, it takes repeated exposures and you wont know for many years.
If it really scares you, buy a P100 respirator and goggles, shouldn't cost more than $25 and it will stop you from breathing asbestos.
Toyota (accidently) made 27000 vehicles with asbestos between 1996 and 2005, and the parts weren't the clutch. It also says they had completely ended use of asbestos in 1996 (apart from those vehicles). Since the 3rd gen was new in '96, Toyota designed it to not use asbestos.
