check your upper control arm on the rear end were it bolts to the body. if this bolt comes loose it makes a good bump noise as you discribed. mine did this and it took me the longest time to figure it out. this bolt must be very tight.

i placed the car in neutral while coming to a stop. i did not feel a bump. i believe that i have ruled out the brakes and suspension. i also had the drive shaft checked. it was tight and without movement. furthermore, i allowed the car to coast down a hill while in 1st gear then i applied the brakes and did not felt a bump.
the car feels like its sluggish and lacking power upon accel. after accel, when i come to a stop i getting a bump. i believe that it is the tranny. any insights or tests i could do to confirm. what could be causing this.

Check the rubber mount that holds the transmission to the cross member. Could have the nuts loose or the rubber has broken away from the mount.

had it checked out. appears rear bushings in the stablizer bracket are worn. the bracket that attaches the rear axle to the frame. put the car on a lift and the whole rearend moved. a/b wants $240 for the job. the bushing kit cost $36 plus 2.5 hours of labor @ 80 bucks.

my earlier post suggested that you check the rear bushing that bolts to the body. mine made this same noise and all i did was tighten up the big bolts with a breaker bar
but yours could be worn out but i would ??? that because those are big giant bushings that move very little under normal driving. good luck
