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

I've been experiencing some issues with my Ford Ranger's transmission lately. It doesn't shift smoothly and sometimes makes a strange noise. What could be causing this? Has anyone else had similar problems?

Hi Samantha, I used to work at a Ford dealership and have seen this issue before. It's most likely caused by a worn out or dirty transmission filter. I suggest you get it checked and replaced if necessary.

I've had the same problem with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a faulty solenoid. You should have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

In my experience, this type of issue is usually caused by low transmission fluid. Check your fluid levels and top it off if needed.
