Awkward Jerk/Hesitation upon Deceleration

Does anyone know why when decelerating, for instance when slowly coming to a stop sign, I can feel the car jerking or hesitating when coming to a stop. Its not severe but definitely noticeable. I place the car in neutral just about when the car is coming to a stop and when rolling i can feel it happening. Is that something I should be worried about? Thanks.

Nope not really. Some hesitation sometimes after shifting gears. But only really happens when i slow down with the car in neutral.
