Hard Hit from R to D 5sp auto UPDATE

I had previously posted my problem with my Wife’s 2003 9-5 5 sp automatic engaging hard from reverse to drive when the transmission would pause engagement then hit hard. I want to preface my write up with the old AFT was only 10K old and was Mobil ATF-3309 before doing this procedure to the car. I received a lot of good feedback including Swedecar posting a TSB citing the replacement of the Valve body which is a very expensive proposition.
I changed the fluid in the car and use Mobil ATF-3309 and added a Red bottle of Lubegard to the ATF and ran it for less than 1000 miles. I then had received my shipment of Lubegard Platinum that claims to turn Dex 3 into Toyota TIV compatible fluid by adding the friction modifiers to the ATF. I again used Mobil ATF 3309 and added the full bottle of the Lubegard platinum. I am happy to report the car is symptom free of any delay and subsequent hitting hard of the transmission and the transmission is performing very well. Unless it returns I think it is corrected for the price of fluid and additives. I plan on frequent changes of fluid every 20K and adding 1 oz per quart removed of Lubegard platinum every change using only Mobil ATF-3309. I thought I would pass along my experience with this problem. Again thanks for everyone's help with the feedback you gave me.
