What are the common transmission problems in a Ford Ranger?

I recently purchased a used Ford Ranger and I'm experiencing issues with the transmission. It's not shifting smoothly and sometimes it feels like it's slipping. What could be the cause of these problems and how can I fix them?

One common issue with Ford Rangers is a defective transmission sensor. It can cause shifting problems and should be replaced.

Low transmission fluid level is often the culprit for transmission problems in a Ford Ranger. Check and top off the fluid if needed.
