1989 Honda Civic DX

So I just ended up buying a 1989 Honda Civic DX (automatic) around last month and it runs flawless except for one thing...

Whenever you're slowing down and it drops back into first gear the car makes a sudden jerk where you can feel it kicking into that gear. I'm posting this from work right now so I can't check anything out on it but decided to post this to get some second opinions on what it could be, before I check it out tomorrow morning.

The car has been maintained properly since the first owner and sits at 179,xxx miles right now. Any help would be nice and hope I provided enough information, thanks in advance!
