Once in a while, in low gear only, the transmission will jump. It typically occurs when at a yield point where I don't have to stop fully, just slow down a lot. Instead of smoothly proceeding, the car will hesitate a second then I can feel the transmission "clunk" and the car jumps forward. After this there is no problem with other gears and it only seems to happen occasionally and only when I don't have to come to a complete stop. Any ideas what may be happening? Thank you.

You may want to have that looked at by a tranny man. It is asign of trouble internaly. About all you could try change fluid and filter.
Good luck
