Just changed all major fluid. Transmission, rear diff, engine oil. My question is, is it normal for the car to have a slight jerk while coming to a complete stop? Thank you

No, you might want to describe the symptoms better. Is the jerk under breaking conditions or when coasting to a stop?

this is your drive shaft needs to be lubed ...

what do you mean by "slight jerk"? do you mean it pulls to one side when applying breaks?

I have the same problem. My mechanic said it was from the rear axle seals leaking onto the brake drums basically lubing them in certain spots. This means that when stopping the rear brakes slip then grab suddenly. Sometimes even locking the rear tires.

Vague description which is stating the obvious... Like others said the driveshaft can cause a slight jerk... If it's a side to side pull I'd closely inspect your front control arm bushings

Sounds like one of your front calipers is out/on the way out depending on which direction it jerks.
