Car shifts hard. Jerk when put into park or reverse.. Also there is a little rattling in the front of the vehicle like something is loose.

while moving at a steady rate of speed, it begins to jerk as if trying to find a grabbing point in the gears. it seems to be that it is slipping in second or third gear. at times I feel as if it is caused by a transmission mount, like in the earlier Taurus, or as if teeth have been chewed from the actual internal gears. if all that made sense. I've been lead to believe that 'Lucas oil' transmission fix/slip stop fluid would fix it, my tire dealer told me this!? is he accurate or is he just trying to sell me stuff? I do enjoy my car, I bought on my own 2 years ago. is this something I can fix and not regret it, or should I enter it into a roll over contest and get another used car?
