Waukesha

I have a 2007 MDX which was diagnosed with the 'strawberry shake' syndrome. So I need to replace the transmission and radiator/hoses. I am not finding much on the internet for this gen MDX. So my question: Is it easier to remove the whole engine, trans, subframe to replace the trans, or just remove the trans? I have a 2 post lift so dropping it out the bottom is doable. I need to map out my process for this job.
