My van has recently started to jump when decelerating. Is this a transmission problem?

It happens when the car has accelerated to over 35-40 mph hour and then slows back down to 30mph. If I shift into neutral when slowing down and then back into drive, the car does not jump, but I don't want to hurt the transmission by doing this either.

I have also noticed some slight transmission leaking as well. The car was in an accident about 4 months ago. The car ran well when it came back from the mechanic, and no engine problem had been detected then, it had been mostly structural/aethestics.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
