New 6th gen owner questions

I noticed great info about the transmission valve body as a typical fix at/around the 100K mark. I guess the previous owner knew this was about to come around as a needed fix and sold it. I got this car well under blue book and the condition of the car looks great, though I just barely noticed the behavior of the valve fix needed.

2006 with 100K - What should I do with the transmission?

Transgo kit or Nissan OEM something, also does anyone know how long this can extend the transmission life doing it now? or should I wait till it gets to a certain performancem, since I'm not quite seeing any issues and only once over the weekend noticed the small "lunge" or shift kick?

Should I opt for a transmission cooler kit if I'm doing this all as well?

The engine is really strong and the car is in great shape, but I just barely bought the car from a dealer (can return) and wanted input.

Thanks!

You bought the car from the dealer? Research the car here and decide if you want to return it or get an extended warranty of they offer it. Some on the board (myself included) have had more issues with the car than we would want. I have a six speed tranny

If you're not noticing any major issues, I wouldn't dive in for an overhaul. Add the trans cooler and do drain and fills on the trans fluid every 15K miles. My trans (5AT) isn't perfect and I started noticing issues around 100K miles but through added maintenance and adding a trans cooler, it's still performing today at 183K miles.
