1997 LX450 transmission shifting feels off

[TexasLX450ovrldr]

I've noticed that sometimes when going less than 10mph or so after coasting for a bit and then getting back on the gas the truck will rev up for a second before the trans will downshift and when it does go into gear it jolts the vehicle pretty good. I've checked the driveshaft u-joints and they dont have any slop in them so I'm just wondering what could be causing the issue.

Have you checked and/or adjusted the cables?

I would look here on the forums and find the factory service manual and check the amount of play in your kick down cable and adjust as needed.

Have you checked you fluid level PROPERLY?

Have you checked you fluid level PROPERLY?

Yeah, I checked it after driving it and the transmission was good warmed up and it's right where it should be. I've got a new throttle cable that I'm gonna install when I get the time. I'll check the kick down cable when I do that.
