transmission takes a while to go into gear

[AKcharger]

When car sits for a while few days when I start it I have to run the shifter through the gears a few times before it hooks up, then it's normal. If I don't do that it acts like its slipping and you really have to give it some rpms to get it going. other than that works normal...ever heard of that?

It could be a number of things Bill. Servo might be plugged up or  o-ring seal may be worn. Filter plugged up, lack of trans fluid possibly. Front pump not doing its job when cold could be do to bands are shot, blued and worn is noticeable when taken apart. Does the trans fluid smell burnt or dis-colored? Is there any trans fluid leaking from there front area or trans? if so, front seal might be trashed from sittingwhich is normal for up here. There are more factors as well, pm for my cell number if you want, I could stop by some time after work to check it out also. Assuming its your charger and not some fancy new ride, ha......

Converter drainback, after you start it, let it run in neutral for a little bit before putting it into gear and see if that makes any difference.

  pump works in neutral, not in park.  I could be wrong about that though, but I do know you should let it run in neutral for a minute

100% Very common. Just let it idle in neutral for a few and it will most likely be fine.
