Thumping Avolon

I have a 1987 Avolon with 16000 miles on it.  It has this annoying
condition at 40-45 mph— that if you let off the accelerator during a
slight pull it will make a thumping noise as the trans downshifts out
off overdrive.

Has anyone had this problem?

    Yep, I notice mine doing that occasionally, usually with feathering the
    throttle then letting off slightly, then a little gas again. It’s been talked
    about here some.

    Did Toyota make an Avalon in 1987?

    No they didn’t.  I think he/she meant 1997.
