Automatic Jimny shunting when decelerating

Hi there,

having an issue with my 03 automatic where it makes an aggressive shunting sound, (feels like really aggressively dropping out of gear/stall attempt) when decelerating to a stop. Almost seems to happen more when crawling in traffic, have changed transmission oils a few times. Any pointers? Next place to look is union joints

I would agree with the u joints and add in the gearbox and transfer box mounting points. The automatic is usually fairly tough.
