As the driver of a Ford Ranger with A6-speed automatic transmission, You may be understandably concerned about any potential issues that could occur. The 2001 model of this vehicle in particular has many reports regarding failure of the transmission, difficulty with shifting gears, and the service light illuminating intermittently. You also may experience shuddering, shaking, grinding and vibrating from the engine bay, or undercarriage of the suv. If the transmission fluid is low, it will need to be changed for a cost between $4 and $54, depending on labor, brand, and amount of fluid purchased. If the transmission itself needs to be replaced, You can expect to pay between $589 and $1458 for parts alone.

If the Ford Ranger is having issues with the transmission then you will notice several problems, including shaking or grinding while driving, a burning smell when the vehicle is on, the gears slipping when you shift, the shifter becoming stuck or non responsive, and leaking fluids. This can all lead to a transmission failure which will more or less kill the vehicle.
