Best bet is a shop manual or a Haynes etc, anything that gives you the step-by-step. The big stuff is straight forward. It's the little things like wiring, linkages, linkage adjustment etc that can trip you up.

Got a trans jack or a floor jack with the trans jack attachment?

Got a place to work on it, not including your dirt driveway that doubles as a wash or creek during a rain?

Got tools?

Got someone to assist when needed?

E4OD's are big and heavy, so don't end up as skeletal remains under it when they notice you missing months from now....

An E4OD/4R100 weighs about 270 pounds. Be ready for that.
