Transmission keeps going to limp mode

I've got a 06, 3.7 4wd Dakota that all of the sudden went Into limp mode, I can unhook the battery and reset everything and it will drive fine for a short distance then goes back to limp mode, before it goes to limp mode it'll try to shift to 3rd, the RPM will go up then down then up and back down and that's when it goes to limp mode, I'm getting p0700 and p0733 codes. What could be causing this?

Usually with these codes, you will drain the trans fluid, and there will be some metal bits
on the magnet in the transmission. If no metal, replace filter with OEM filter (Not aftermarket) and hope that the filter and fluid change does the trick. But usually the fix is more complex with new parts being needed in the transmission.
