Transmission slipping

My daughters 2000 4WD Rodeo LS Automatic slips occasionally, usually when starting out on an uphill / slope. Otherwise I don't feel much problem, maybe a tad sloppy 1st to 2nd upshift, but that's very minor if not my imagination. The ATF and filter have been changed at least twice at 103,000 miles. Last change showed some browning of the fluid, but it didn't seem or smell burnt. If I accelerate pretty hard but keep it from dropping into passing gear, it also seems to be OK, just that uphill slope thing.

I'm guessing fluid level is the first thing to look at, and I have a pint of Transx additive I thought I might try. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
