Default Transaxle thump,surge

Ok here are the symptoms Cruising on streets when I let completely off of the gas petal i get a light clunk, then lightly getting back on the gas there is a slight surge then i bigger clunk. I can repeat this easily by just fully releasing the gas petal and getting back into it. It seems worst then crusising at around 1,200-1,700 rpms down streets. also slowing to a full stop at stopsigns i feel it lightly also. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this? its quite bad and a little embarassing for anyone else to ride in it.

Personally it feels like the torque converter is surging then locking. I had this problem in an older car when the transmission fuild got low I hoping thats all it is in this case getting the transmission fluid level checked monday.

Full throttle acceleration from a stop or on the highway seems uneffected.
