My car has the same issue. It comes and goes. It's called delayed engagement. You can read more about it here.

It's called "slide bang" caused by the heavy spring in the forward band cap that retains the spring. There IS a lighter replacement spring for it and it's about $10. Also recommend the superior shift kit along with the AFL valve replacement. Those will clear up A LOT of issues. I have built these transmissions.
