Default Recommendation for CVT on LS600h

Keep in mind I wrote down everything in km, the car only has 100k miles on it and it's mostly highway outside of rush hour so pretty chill driving.
I did notice a slight burn smell since a few years ago every time I went to my parent's place, the road there is pretty steep even for our standards.
Again, I'm completely lost as not a single code was tripped. I found a used transmission for around 1300 euros but honestly I don't see myself spending 5k or more on it to get it to run again, especially since I have absolutely no idea what is actually broken. https://www.ebay.de/itm/LEXUS-LS-F4-...8/392651955568
I saw you're having issues with a burnt smell I have an 07 LS600h and have heard to avoid putting incline weight stress on it. Meaning don't let the weight of the vehicle sit on the resistance of the transmission when in drive. If you're in an area prone to inclines, use the HOLD brake traffic button. It really helps in preventing this stress.
