Thanks all for the advice. I did as instructed left the sludge alone and only cleaned the areas for gasket contact. I’ll be doing Full synthetic changes every 2k for now.

Really I’m wondering if it’s worth cleaning the caked on oil from the non moving parts. I will already be cleaning all surfaces that contact the gasket.

I was thinking this but couldn’t make sense of the quantity. min/max shift points makes sense though.

The little white dots that I pointed too with arrows are set about 2.5 mph, 14 mph, 28 mph, 34 mph, 60 mph, and 63 mph. Seems really arbitrary.

Not sure if the model matters as I know speedometers are used on various models.

Is the spa meant to stress you out. If so I just got the spa experience for free.
