I agree with WJW, the hard shifting thing is very often due to worn out bushings. Most notably, the torque rod bushings, and the axle-to-trailing-arm bushings. (I don't know if the axle bushings in the 740 last longer than the 240)

With worn out bushings, when you shift from N-D-R, or whatever, it often does feel like you are getting hit in the bumper.

Check the bushings, change them if necessary, and also check for play in the driveshaft U-joints. Not hard to do.

As for the 2 cleaners, I would think they pretty much do the same thing.
