Elliot,
That is the sympton of low oil level in your tranny. Like if it takes
longer for the pressure to build up in the torque converter.

When I had a leak in my tranny a few years ago, and once failed to spot
the VERY low oil level, that's exactly what happened to me. Start the
car, let it warm up, put it in either neutral or park, check oli level
in tranny.

Good luck  /// P-O
