Redline stopping roughly.

Not sure how to describe this problem but I will try.

First off I have automatic. It seems that when I let off the gas an let the car slow itself down to come to a stop it gives a rough jolt when it gets down to about 10mph.

It doesn't do it all the time but enought to notice it.

Transmission perhaps?

As it is down shifting to second or first? Thats a new one--

It's the automatic doing the auto downshift thingy.

Edit: Pluses and minuses: On the plus side it lets the trans do some of the braking on hills. On the flats, it makes sure you're in the proper gear for some "get up and go". Oh the minus side, it's a pain in the butt when all you want to do is coast out with a bit of brake at the end, or if you're in rush hour traffic in and around the shift point.
