When I first put my car in gear, sometimes it is slow to engage in gear. Once in gear it goes and does not slip.

Sometimes the seals / o-rings get hard over the years which allows fluid to bypass before it shifts. I would try servicing the trans and getting an additive designed to soften seals.

See if that helps.
