What are common issues with Ford Ranger transmission?

I recently bought a used Ford Ranger and I've been experiencing some issues with the transmission. What are some common problems that I should be aware of and how can I prevent them?

Hi Samantha, transmission problems in Ford Rangers are fairly common. Some potential issues to look out for include delayed or rough shifting, slipping gears, and transmission fluid leaks. To prevent these issues, make sure to regularly check and change your transmission fluid and get your truck serviced at recommended intervals.

Hey Samantha, as a Ford Ranger owner myself, I can attest to some transmission issues. It's important to also keep an eye out for signs of a failing torque converter, such as grinding or shaking while accelerating.

Hi Samantha, another common problem is the splines wearing down on the input shaft, resulting in difficulty shifting gears. My advice would be to have a mechanic check the transmission and replace any damaged components.
