I honestly believe the auto manufacturers consider automatic transmissions as disposable items like brakes and fuel filters. They could make them last the life of the rig but they don't.

If you have gotten 165k out of yours, you have done very well. Try to think of it like you saved $2,000 because you didn't have to have it done at 100k and again now.

It's might be your Torque Converter unlocking (normal) or it's shifting out of overdrive. Try doing the same thing with OverDrive turned off and see if it repeats.

Hope this helps.
