Is it my transmission mount? 200 1990

Need some help. I'm not sure what's going on with the Volvo. I was having some hesitated shifting ever since I had my kickdown cable replaced, but I adjusted it this afternoon and it seemed to have solved the problem (for now).

However, beginning yesterday, I've noticed that when I come to stop, I get what appears to be a subtle "kick" from the rear-end. I find it similar to a kick that you get when shifting from say 1st to 2nd, etc. Car drives fine on the interstate, normal gas mileage, strong engine.

Trailing arm bushings are approximately 2-3 years old, I have original transmission mounts and engine mounts. I have a lot of stuff in my trunk that's not secured, including the spare tire leaning in the tire well. I know I should remove the stuff and drive it, but is there anything else I can check?

Thanks!
