Why does my 1996 Honda Accord transmission make a bump noise when it downshiftys?

Bad front axles/cv joints.

Check the mounts.

Could be something wrong with it. Check the transmission fluid level, that's an easy fix.

Might be a bad mount. Find local shop at ATRA.COM for diagnosis

Have you been changing the ATF every 60,000 miles as required?
Get the transmission and engine mounts inspected too.

Maybe that is just the way it is. BUT really a mechanic should look at it for it may be a problem with your CV axles… Being loose… As this is not normal.
