Default 2001 Discovery 2 transmission fluid additive?

Going to change out the fluid on my disco tomorrow. I could swear I had read about a beneficial additive to toss in there while i was at it, but I'm not finding it again. Any tips on additives, if they prove beneficial I'd like to use one.
If not then less to buy at the store.
Thanks

Don't add anything, just get a good quality ATF.

Well im all done with the fluid change. Only 4.75 ish quarts came out, pretty murky brown looking. . But the same amount went back in. Went through the gears. Went for a drive. Still held the same amount. Calling it good i suppose. Gonna change it out again in a few weeks to get more fresh fluid in.

I use Hydra Trans Tune. Seems to smooth out some of the rougher shifting.

So I did it per the rave exactly this time. Took about another quart. About 5.5 total.
Feel better about it now. Gonna try to do 2 more times over a few weeks to get more newer fluid it. No problems with the tranny. Hopefully none surface from changing fluids. My 2000 mercedes tranny took a dump after fluid change and was fine up untill it. And the damn stealership did that service

I was getting some transmission "clunking" with standard transmission fluid, but I changed it to Mobil One Synthetic, and all the noise went away
