My first real problem with my 96 x300

My first real problem with my 96 x300
This morning the car sputtered a little when it started and is having trouble idling (like it wants to die periodically). Shortly thereafter, the engine light came on. I took it to AZ to run the codes and it shows a misfire on cylinder 4.
I figure this can be fixed with a tune-up and spark plug change or I'm losing a head gasket. Is there any in-between ground here that I'm missing?

no way that a head gasket could've been causing that; my head was warped and leaking coolant into the oil channels, and she still ran like a champion and I never knew until I pulled the dipstick out one day and saw the dreaded cappuccino on the end of it.
as far as the transmission, a filter and fluid change wouldn't be a bad idea.
should improve smoothness of shifting.
4 quarts of dexron III fluid and the trans filter which I always end up buying at advance auto.
$30.64 is usually what I end up paying for the whole job
