You could have a problem with pump pressure. The pump may be failing and it takes time to build enough pressure to shift. If you take it to a repair shop, make sure you take it to a transmission repair facility. Automatic transmissions are hard to work on and require certain expertise and special tools .So, make sure you take it to a transmission shop.
