Whatever additive you use it not going to solve your rough shift. At least not for long. Additives such as Tarns-x and Lucas could have a temporary effect on the shifting of the transmission, but your tranny is wearing out these additives can not keep it alive for too long.
By the way, a very common problem of a hard shifts is a bad motor mount. It is a very likely cause and much cheaper to repair. Have someone very its not your case.
