How do I maintain the transmission in my Ford Ranger?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and I want to make sure my transmission lasts as long as possible. What steps should I take to properly maintain it?

A good rule of thumb is to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. This will help keep your transmission running smoothly and prevent any major issues. You can also have a mechanic inspect your transmission for any potential problems.

In addition to regular fluid changes, it's important to check the transmission fluid level periodically. Low fluid levels can cause damage to the transmission, so make sure to keep it topped off. Also, be gentle when shifting gears as rough shifts can put strain on the transmission.
