Ok new to the TL-transmission shifts funny when slowing down.

Ok i did the 3x3 and the 3rd and 4th shift solonoids. To me the car shifts funny when you slow down it is abrubt I dont know never had one of these what else could it be. And feeling the shift is normal right. Plus when i start it it has a slight vibration

sounds like it's down shifting.
I intermittently noticed a slight vibration when I start from a dead stop, most of the time it doesn't happen. Don't know what it's from.
GL with your car.

If you have an auto, it's a normal downshift.

What year is it? My 2004 downshifts funny. My 2006 does not. I think that it is Rev Matching in the 2006 (and up) that makes the shifts smoother, but I am not 100% sure.

Does it vibrate when you start the car, or when you start out from a stop?

It's a 2005 and its a auto 64,000 miles. And it vibrates from a start and you can feel it. Any ideas?

Grade logic? I'm assuming that's what's going on here.

Mine did the same thing from a stop. If its a slight vibration under light acceleration its the torque convertor in the tranny. Not cheap sorry

Bad idea to use the Z1. You shouldve used Redline Racing ATF or another aftermarket brand like Amsoil without so much FM.

That described motor mounts perfectly. Make sure the vacuum line to the mount is hooked up or it can become a little firm.
