I have driven Sables for years and have found if you are moving at a slow speed, maybe decelerating, and begin to accelerate, sometimes the transmission downshifts with a very noticeable jerk and a thud sound. I put 200k miles on a '96 Sable with this happening and never had a problem requiring attention.

Why is my 99 grand am engine ticking sometimes?

It is a lifter either sticking or your fuel injectors it is common with these engines... I have a 2001 that ticks at idle and it is a lifter but as soon as I start to accelerate it goes away. It has done this since a year ago when I bought it I wouldn't worry unless it is knocking.
