Hard Shift/Hestitation From Park To 1st

Greetings all.
My normally dependable 08 6.4 has decided that my life needed enrichment from the typical hum drum "put it in drive and just go" freewheeling, not a care in the world experience that I'm used to. About a week and a half ago "it" didn't want to engage first gear until about 5-8 seconds goes by. And it has stayed that way. I checked the trans fluid level, it looked a lil low so I added a qt. No change. Reverse is no problem. Reverse to first or park to first big delay.
Any idea what gives? Going to the dealer tomorrow.
This could get ugly.

Sounds like a solenoid is sticking but I am not a trans expert, do some search's, I remember this coming up before, also try searching in the heavy duty section.
