The type of transmission fluid the 2001 Ford Ranger uses is Mercon V. The transmission fluid needs to be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Along with fluid changes, nasty sounds will come from the transmission. A worn out torque converter will cause a headache. Old transmission fluid will be awful to the ear. The transmission is one of the most important pieces of the vehicle. You will come into problems at some point. The gears can become stuck. There could be jerking. Hard shifts may arise and that is no good. You might experience shudders. The transmission may slip. Delayed shifts can cause acceleration issues. If the transmission fluid leaks, that needs to be solved quickly.
