you need a press so, if you don't have that you may have trouble. I watched several guys that know the process well build 2 at the same time, in the parking lot at a track. I don't know that someone that hasn't done it before could easily do the same.

that's a lock up switch... no NX for me ! Those other buttons are there from the factory. It's both seat heaters and the rear sliding windows.

To do it right you need to dissassemble the whole transmission and setup the drive train clearances with the new pieces in place. If it isn't done correctly there can be too much slack in the center thrust washers which will drop the lube pressure to the front components and the OD.
