Default Need help! shifting problem...

Yesterday i noticed that my 1997 honda civic coupe was shifting weird. I drive an automatic and it seems to shift hard. If the engine has a big thump when it goes in to another gear. I can notice it most when i shift for neutral to drive. I can feel a big thump that i never felt before. Like the whole engine is shifting. I checked the tranny fluid it's fine. Please help.
