It doesn't have a dipstick because checking trans fluid isn't as simple as just pulling the stick and reading it.
Trans fluid level varies greatly with temperature and tolerances in today's transmissions are very close. If fluid is overfilled by a small amount it can raise up into the geartrain as the trans warms, the fluid churns and ingests air and the transmission fails. Simply overfilling the trans can lead to complete trans failure.
To get an accurate fluid level you have to use a scan tool to check the actual temperature of the trans fluid. Once the temperature is taken then a chart is used to see how many millimeters of fluid should show on the stick, and then a special dipstick is used. The stick has a stop that seats in a certain way depending on vehicle, and it's labeled in millimeters.
If you don't have a trans leak and no repairs have been done then your fluid is full and checking it is never necessary. If you do have to have the fluid checked then a shop with the proper equipment can check it for you in a couple minutes.

Go underneath and look at tranny, There will be an upper filler plug and a lower drain plug. You can get top and hose for your gear oil / tranny fluid and fill. The level of the fluid should be exactly at bottom of hole

The cleaners such as rislone etc.....need to be left in and run in the engine for a few days to a few weeks. You can run two cans at once.
You can also run a thicker oil such as 15w40 to see if that helps.
If none of the above makes a difference you may have a blocked oil passage or a crack in a oil passage lowering oil pressure to the lifters.
If it is "lifters" and not just one lifter allowing to much clearance in the valve train you may indeed have a blockage or crack.
If it is just one it may be a mechanical lifter defect and it may need replacing.
The above assumes all oil changes were done on time with high quality oil.
The cheap cleaning method is 25% gas and 75% oil put into the crankcase and run that for 20 mins.

You always check transmission fluid with it running and in park,If your dip stick has a place on it for cold use it cold,Other wise it should be on the full mark,you might want to look under your jeep for any new leaks!
