So you had it's brain reflashed.Given that I assume that adaptations were reset as well.
Reconditioned Valve Body isn't a guaranty that it's refurbished properly.
Does it lurch more when it's cold or warm?
When I used to have this issue,it was only when gearbox was warm.Now I have a slight kick during the first downshift when I drive it after it set overnight in subzero temps.
Check the MAF to throttle body intake book for tight connection.
I am wondering if the vacuum leak could cause something like that.
Guys mentioned that old spark plugs can have such an effect on the tranny behavior as well.

Ill do bullet points for this :

- Previous owner has transmission rebuilt 8000 miles ago.

- The rebuilders do the box and TC exchange, do not open valve body.

- I get the car and it has a jerk going from 2-1 when slowing down really fast, it also jerks if I just sit on the brake pedal in drive, and go in manual mode from 2-1. I can feel the transmission shift it, its a really light jerk on idle. Theres also a jerk fromn 3-4.

- I think software, so I have it updated, no difference.

- I then take it to the people who originally did the rebuild, they have no idea and say its functioning fine, they're too far from me to go again so I just leave it, they do admit they didn't open or clean the valve body, just put it back in.

- I then have a reconditioned valve body put in. This fixes the 3-4 issue but the 2-1 jerk is still present.

So now whenever I brake hard I get a thump from the back.

The suspension has been checked a billion times, it's definitely transmission related this one.

Big sigh.
