My car has a slight delay form when I put the car in drive to when it engages and moves. Otherwise the car shifts fine through all the gears. Anyone know what this may be? ---

The pump in the transmission may not be building pressure fast enough. First make sure to check transmission levels according to instructions from owners manual. Or if you know how, change the trans fluid and filter. If you don’t know how, take it to a reputable transmission shop. ---
