THe most common cause is age. The seals and o-rings in the trans get hard and allow fluid to bypass them. As a result, it takes a few seconds to engage. I would recommend having the trans serviced and a good additive added to help soften seals and o-rings. THere are many available.

Let me know if it helps.
