What are the most common problems for a Ford Ranger's transmission?

I recently bought a used Ford Ranger and I'm concerned about the transmission. What problems should I be looking out for?

As an experienced mechanic, I've seen a lot of issues with Ford Ranger transmissions. The most common problems are slipping gears, rough shifting, and fluid leaks. I recommend getting a throrough inspection and fluid flush every 30,000 miles to prevent these issues from escalating and causing more damage.

I've been a Ford Ranger owner for years now and haven't had any major transmission problems. Just make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and you should be fine. If you do notice any unusual symptoms, such as strange noises or difficulty shifting, take it in to be checked out right away.

I'm sorry to hear about your concerns with the transmission. I've been a certified Ford mechanic for over a decade and I can assure you that while some transmission issues can arise, it's not a common occurrence. Just be sure to keep up with regular maintenance and address any issues promptly to avoid further damage.
