Slight bucking when slowing down and breaking

[Dizzydtrain]

Hey Everyone,

Got a used 07 4runner with about 70k on the odometer and i just noticed a slight hesitation when slowing down and coming to a complete stop. There is a split second right before coming to a stop where the car bucks for a second , I think you can feel the transmission down shift. The hesitation is very slight and there are no other issues when driving at any other speeds--shifts really smooth all across the board.

Was thinking about getting a transmission fluid swap since the vehicle is about 6-7 years old now.

I searched around but haven't found any similar topics. Anyone have any similar experiences?
