We need a little more info to help you.  
Does it feel like it is in the transmission like a hard down shift? or somewhere else in the vehicle?  
If it is in the tranny, do you come to a complete stop and then you feel it? or just before you stop? like the tranny is slipping and then catching again?  
if it is somewhere else, is it a bang, a clunk, metal sound, ect?  
what area is the sound or feeling coming from?  
the more info you give the better of a chance someone here can help you.

You should bring it to a reliable transmission shop. it is possible the solenoid is just stuck and can be freed by changing the fluid.  
Or your problem can be caused by something other than what I posted above. the shop will be able to check for tranny codes and would be able to tell you what the problem is more than I can from here.  
please post back when it is fixed. it might help others in the future.
