Default Yay or Nay for Bar's Leaks Automatic Transmission Repair?

I've used their oil additive before with no issues on the E60. I'm changing transmission oil (and solenoids, and all seals), and thinking of adding Bar's Leaks Automatic Transmission Repair. Any recommendation NOT to use it? Car's got 235k miles and shifting is shaky. No transmission leaks though.

No snake oil.
Changing oil, seals (I'm assuming you mean the bridge seal and the three pipe ones), and solenoids will be your best bet. If shift issues persist, you're in clutch pack territory. With luck you'll have caught it before it got that bad.
