Hello everyone! Just purchased a 2006 Pathfinder SE 4X4 for my son. 124k miles and the transmission was just rebuilt - I'm somewhat aware of the transmission issues. 12k/12 month warranty on the tranny.

We are going to start doing some maintenance on it: air filter, cabin filters, spark plugs, new key fobs (didn't come with any), etc. What are some other items we need to take care of that we don't know about? We'd like to keep this vehicle running well for the next 100k.

Also, we only received one key with the vehicle. What's the best source for getting another key? The door for the gas filler access is "flapping" and won't stay shut...is there a fix for this?

Thanks!!!

Welcome ... Was the radiator replaced with the transmission?

Yes - there's a separate smaller radiator on the front of the main radiator. Is that the tranny cooler?

Yes that would be the trans cooler
