What are the common problems with the Ford Ranger's transmission?

I've heard that some Ford Rangers have had issues with their transmissions. What are some of the most common problems and what can I do to prevent them?

One common issue with the Ford Ranger's transmission is failure of the torque converter seal. This can lead to fluid leaks and eventually transmission failure. To prevent this, make sure to regularly check your transmission fluid levels and get any leaks fixed immediately.

Another common issue is transmission slipping, which can be caused by worn out gears or a faulty transmission control module. It's important to have your transmission regularly serviced and to pay attention to any warning signs like unusual noises or difficulty shifting.

If you notice your Ranger's transmission is jerky or there are delays in gear shifting, it could be a sign of a failing solenoid pack. This is a component that regulates the flow of transmission fluid and can be replaced to fix the issue.
