If you make enough noise about it, you can get it done for nothing....as it should be. It's been a known issue with this vehicle and Lexus should have fixed it permanently as soon as they knew it. But, they say because it is not a safety issue, they will only fix it if a customer complains and if it is still under the 50,000 warranty. You will see on the newest TSB that part of this service is covered to 70,000 miles and part only until 50,000 miles. Even my Lexus dealership did not know that part of it was covered under the 70,000 mile drivetrain warranty. I had to tell them to check the latest TSB. In the end, I got the whole thing done for nothing on my 2004 GX470 with over 60,000 miles. The newest TSB is April 2006. If anyone wants a copy of it, PM me with your email address and I will email you a PDF of it. I will send the same attachment that Chexation sent me. They wont keep it or refer to it since they have updated info on their computer but they will know that YOU KNOW. Good luck.
