Make sure it's full of oil. If it's ok I would contact the builder!!

A worn reverse input drum can cause your symptoms too. Reason being that the cushion steel likes to dig into the splines of the drum. Causing a delay.... kind of what your describing I think. Most quality builders will scrap these drums.
