What are the common issues with the transmission in a Ford Ranger?

I recently bought a Ford Ranger and noticed some problems with the transmission. What are some common issues and how can I prevent them?

Transmission fluid leaks are a common issue in Ford Rangers. Make sure to regularly check the fluid levels and replace any worn out seals or gaskets.

Rough shifting and transmission slipping can be caused by a malfunctioning solenoid. Have a mechanic check and replace it if necessary.
