2005 Ford Ranger Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Ranger’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Ranger is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Ranger's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Ranger’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Ford Ranger? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Ranger, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

You might even experience transmission failure.
