Other than having the service manuals, the closest thing may be this thread from about 5 years ago (can't believe it's been that long), when I was in Mexico, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...went-bump.html

I dropped the tranny out of my 2000. The easy thing I found is to drop the engine craddle. Trans is easily to get to and once you get all the bolts out you can take it right off

Well, what problems were you having with the transmission/transfer case? I didn't see it posted above, but maybe I missed it.

So once it is overhauled would you be installing it? My suggestion would have been to allow the overhaul folks do the removal and installation (then there is little chance of finger pointing
Remember to change the rear main seal of the engine.
Make sure the overhaul includes a new (some say redesigned) planetary gear.
