Backing OUT OF a parking spot, I should have said. The University
Gestapo won't let us park backwards. :P

      Every automatic I've driven, except for some brand-new cars,
has
      
      hesitated while going into reverse after starting up. At one
point I
      ended up making a ruckus in the parking lot here at work when
I was
      backing into a parking spot, pressing on the accellerator
while my
      engine spun. And that lasted about two seconds. After I
changed the
      transmission fluid, the lag time went down dramatically - down
to
      about half a second even hot. When's the last time you changed
the
      auto trans fluid?

              Hello everyone,
                 I want to personally take a second to thank
everyone here
      for all your inputs on my past problems.  I have met 1 or 2
people
      here who have actually come to my requests/pleas for help, and
without
      some of my friends here coming to my rescue - I would be so
lost with
      this car.  Thank you to those of you who have helped me and
taught me
      things on the DeLorean in regards to how things work and how
to
      repairs this car - I couldn't own this car without you.
             
                As everyone here knows, I have had alot of
troubles/learning
      experiences with Vin #3299.  I had the computer governor
replaced,
      vacuum modulator replaced, torque converter rebuilt, high
pressured
      the fuel lines, applied the major service kit (tune up),
changed all
      the fluids, replaced the struts, replaced the oxygen sensor,
fixed
      some leaks, applied a bleeding kit, installed the SS coolant
bottle,
      replaced the ferquency valve and the line from the valve to
the
      distributor, cleaned all my relays and fuses, repaired the
otterstat
      wiring, installed FanZilla, replaced a second set of spark
plugs due
      to the car running rich, replacing the heatshield, 2 batteries
with
      new battery bolts, repaired the mircoswitch to fix her high
(2500 rpm)
      idle problem, and am about to replace my rotors.....all in the
first
      month =)...however; there is a new problem - I open the floor
to
      everyone's input on this one:
              
              (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)Go out to drive the car.
Start car -
      VROOM.  Go drive for a bit as the car warms up as normal.
Once the
      car is warm, I will stop and park go eat, whatever.  Come back
to car,
      start car up (Obviously it has warmed up by now).  I shift
from park
      to reverse...the car will sit for 2 seconds or so THEN it will
shift.
      It doesn't shift immediately; it shifts after about 2 seconds
from
      taking the shift lever from park to reverse.  Obviously this
isn't
      normal.  Does anyone have any ideas?  It doesn't seem to do
this when
      the car is cold; it only really seems to do this when the car
has
      warmed up.
