What are some common issues with the Ford Ranger transmission?

I recently bought a used Ford Ranger and have been experiencing some problems with the transmission. It seems to be slipping and shifting hard. Is this a common issue with these trucks?

I have had the same issue with my Ford Ranger. It's a known problem with the transmission solenoid. I would suggest taking it to a mechanic to get it fixed.

I've had a Ford Ranger for years and have never had any transmission issues. It could just be a fluke with your particular truck. But definitely get it checked out.

Make sure you are changing the transmission fluid regularly. That can cause issues if it gets low or dirty.
