I'm not familiar with autoboxes, but someone will shorely help. From what i leaned here, it could be that the autobox filter could be cloged.

I'm hearing a lot about gearboxes thumping into gear or taking ages to shift. Makes me wonder if maybe the wrong viscosity oil is being used (too thick when cold?) as the problem is less when warmed up. Usual things apply, replace oil filter inside gearbox if not done recently.
Might also be worth checking the fluid level when in neutral and then when put into gear- if it drops slowly then suspect a restriction in the hydraulics (blocked filter, etc.) If it drops quickly and then thumps into gear seconds later then it could be a leaking oil seal on the servos or clutches.
