Default Transmission issues

So I got my first jeep Friday and I've been driving it daily, and I've noticed that sometimes it won't go all the way through the gears and the check engine light comes on and sometimes it'll shift like it should and the light goes off. I figured it may be the trans filter, any ideas?

I bet you're running low on unicorn farts, you need to check those!

Sounds like a low fluid problem?

One question I have is whether to go with Dex/Merc or ATF+4 when you need more. I've heard there was a mix up between the two or something.

What is the code from the CEL? Could be a bad TPS.
