You need to remove the transmission pan to both drain the fluid and replace the filter...the filter kit should also come with a replacement gasket...you will need to check the operators manual or call the dealer to see how much trans fluid you will need to replace
The 1999-2003 Lexus RX300 models have a common failure of the engine computer that causes the harsh shifting of the transmission. You need to get the computer (ECM - Engine Control Module) rebuilt or replaced before it causes permanent damage to the transmission. Even if the transmission is already ruined, the ECM will still need to be repaired. Most often, the transmission is fine though, and rebuilding the ECM will restore the smooth shifts that the Lexus should have. Circuit Board Medics can rebuild the ECM and reprogram it so that you only have to plug it back in when you get it back.

If you haven't already, try draining the transmission fluid and replacing it with new. It's recommended to complete this service every 60,000 miles. Also try adding Rislone transmission additive. It worked wonders on my Ford Escape! If you have the fluid changed by someone else, it's advisable to NOT flush the system. The pressure caused by vacuuming it out could create more harm than good.
