Can you feel your truck downshifting when slowing down?

I've got an '06 F150 4x4 4.6L with 32k miles, when I am coming to a stop, I can feel and hear the transmission downshift, sort of like a ca-clunk. Its not too loud or hard, but is def noticeable if I am on smooth pavement. I doesn't seem to always do it, more so when I have been going atleast like 35-40 then come to a stop or slow down alot. Does anyone else experience this? I used to have a '97 with the same motor and never noticed anything like this.

Hmm, maybe I am just being picky. Does anyone NOT feel their truck downshift?

it is normal to feel it downshift. just because YOU don't shift the gears down doesn't mean the transmission won't downshift.
