Only seems to happen when warm. It's not a severe bump but I can definitely feel it sometimes. Fluid level is ok and condition is good. Something to be worried about?

Nt unless it does it every time. There is a good chance the 2-3 accumulator valve is sticky. If the ATF is old a complete fluid change might fix this.

The trans fluid was serviced in 2014/2015 if my memory is any good ... Might be getting close, I'll check my mileage now vs. then.
